Sometimes we like to link our Friday 5s to one momentous occasion, other times we like to do something far more random. Today is a random day. The kind of day when we woke up and wondered: ‘what are the best shots ever hit on a tennis court?’ Well, we can’t guarantee they are the best ever ever, but they surely are since the invention of YouTube (and that’s basically as far back as life goes):
Rafa Nadal hits a ridiculous tweener. There are no words to describe how good this shot is:
Aga Radwanska has the reactions of a cat. This is, without a doubt, the best WTA Hot Shot you have ever seen:
Andy Murray’s outrageous winner. Enjoy this in real time, but make sure you watch the replay:
Grigor Dimitrov goes behind the back. There are no words for how good this is:
Roger Federer’s best ever passing shot. Sounds like hyperbole? It isn’t:
