Watch the lucky tennis shot that made one competitor apologize
This shot was so improbable that all you can do is laugh.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Ana Ivanovic and Maria Sharapova faced off in Rome in the WTA expecting a hard-fought, but fairly standard match. This shot in the first set took a lucky bounce off the net tape and found an impossible angle, finally resting almost perpendicular to the net.
All Ivanovic could do was apologize because let’s face it, that shot was some *expletive*. She went on to win the match and hand Sharapova her first loss of the season on clay.
