American actress Michelle Pfeiffer ended up with an injury after being hit in the eye by a pickleball. In a series of photos shared on her Instagram page, the 66-year-old revealed the black and blue bruise around her right eye, which she presumably got from the plastic pickleball hitting her in the face. "WARNING" she captioned her post, urging other pickleballers to "stay out of the kitchen!!" to avoid getting a similar injury. In pickleball, “the kitchen" is a term commonly used to refer to the two-metre non-volley zone on either side of the net.
