That is what happened with Jessica Lane while she was stuck in traffic with her dad because of a truck fire. Jessica got the opportunity to play with one of her favorite athletes and tennis players, Alexandra Osborne, in a situation that definitely no one would expect.

Ranked at 283 currently, Alexandra Osborne is an Australian tennis player. She got the chance to debut in her first WTA tour in 2021 at the Phillip Island Trophy.

Their session continued for about 45 minutes and Jessica was able to make her dream come true of playing with one of the most dynamic athletes in the current era.
