What is the strangest thing to ever happen to you on a tennis court?
Cottesloe Tennis Club member Judy Curran has arguably the most random tale to tell.
Curran, who turns 88 next month, was hit by a fish (yes, a fish!) mid-match last week.
“We were just finishing a set at around 11 o’clock last Tuesday morning when I heard a bit of commotion and next thing I know, I got hit by a fish,” Curran told tennis.com.au.
“It landed on my right cheek. It didn’t really hurt, but it did give me a bit of a fright.”
Curran, who admits she was in disbelief when she realised what had happened, believes the fish was dropped from the sky by a bird.
Fellow club members reported seeing an osprey at the time…
