Ah an amazing shot! comes only with super practice sessions. But this isnt the first time this has happened, Ive seen even Andre agasi play this shot successfully. So this shot isn’t a historic shot in tennis!

It could be considered an amazing shot but not the greatest by any yardstick. Moreover as a few have pointed out, this shot has been played by other players.

Can’t believe anybody could play like that! That reminds me Neil Johnson of Zimbabwe, who went for some crazy batting shots in one of the world cup matches.

I have seen Leander Paes hit a similar shot. Can’t find the video on youtube though.
I think Del Potro was not awed.
