Tennis fans in Madrid were given a glimpse of the American’s eye-catching game on Saturday when they witnessed him make a bid for shot of the week at the Madrid Open.

Or, as Tennis TV tweeted… shot of the year?

However you rank it, this gorgeous, sliding, behind-the-back winner was the stuff of dreams.
