Serena Williams had to cycle to her third-round match at the Miami Masters in order to beat the traffic.
The world number one feared that she would miss her clash with Ayumi Morita after getting stuck in a traffic jam.
Speaking after the match, the 31-year-old said: "Riding to the match was probably one of my best memories ever.
"The traffic was crazy and everyone was like, 'I have been here for an hour, and I'm staying like eight minutes away', I'm like, 'OK, I'm not going to make my match'.
"So I asked for a golf cart, and the hotel didn't have a golf cart. Then they were like, 'We have a motor bike'. I'm like, 'I don't do motor bikes'. They said, 'We have a bicycle'. I said, 'I really don't do bicycles, but I will today'."
Williams went on to win the match 6-3 6-3.
