Benoit Paire lost to Gilles Simon at the Paris Masters, but who cares because he hit *this* shot.
This French tennis player defied physics to basically hit the perfect shot
How the heck? The ball nearly bounces back over the net and smacks him in the mouth -- which would still be his point, by the way.
Paire’s racket face is nearly horizontal when he hits the ball. This is a damn math problem!
Bravo, dude! I am not sure how you did this, but I enjoyed it a lot!
