Agnieszka Radwanska has long owned the most multifarious arsenal in women's tennis, but it's hard to remember her pulling off a shot as simultaneously audacious, eye-popping, and effective as this blind tweener pass she came up with in her first-round Australian Open win over Tsvetana Pironkova.
It's a shot that's become increasingly common in men's tennis, but its adoption by the WTA's racket-wielders has been slower.
"I'm watching a lot of men's tennis - a lot of Nick (Kyrgios), Roger (Federer), and everyone," Radwanska said of the shot in her on-court interview. "So I just can say that women can do it as well."
