However, when the TikToker was finishing her session on the drizzling court above a day of bad weather in Banjarnegara, Indonesia, the most astonishing of near-death experiences happened.

In the dramatic footage on Nana’s TikTok account, @nfianas, Nana can be seen practising her forehand technique, returning balls to her coach on the opposite side of the net.

But after her second return, as if from nowhere, a bolt of lightning struck, igniting the tallest tree beside the court before smoke came billowing out of it.

Evidently shaken from this near-death experience, which left her just a few meters from death, Nana drops the racquet on the court, putting her hands over her ears and looking for shelter.
