Tennis - Arm not long enough? - No problem!

Fantastic effort from Alexander Bublik… and great sportsmanship from both players.

This is how sports should always be.

The 11th-seeded American hit a backhand drop shot while holding three match points at 5-2 in the second set. Bublik darted towards the net and in a last-second effort, threw his racquet at the ball, making perfect contact. Though the shot did not count due to the racquet leaving Bublik's hand, the ball landed on Shelton's side, leaving the 21-year-old stunned. The pair of Top 25 players in the PIF ATP Rankings shared a laugh during a warm embrace at net.

that was solid. Both the shot, and the reactions by both. Thanks for some good stuff.

Yeah, that was an amazing toss, and really, just quick thinking!

And they both seemed to take it the way they should have, just fun.

Great sportsmanship.

Almost restore a little faith in humanity.

Almost ...

The fact it didn’t count is why tennis is so boring.
