I didn't know what the fuck this was; didn't know who Thiem was. So I read. Thiem is a professional tennis player. He was playing in Austrayleeaa when a 20" snake slithered onto the court. Not just any snake but the Inland taipan.
"The venom of the inland taipan is by far the most toxic of any snake..." Fortunately for Thiem, the Inland taipan is shy and hardly ever bites.
Australia is a weird place.
