WATCH: Congratulations, Dustin Brown. You’ve just nailed the greatest tennis shot of all time

Take the rest of your life off

Darragh Murphy

Tennis players may as well just stop tennissing right this second because nobody is ever going to tennis quite as well as top-grade tennisser Dustin Brown.

Some may not know the name. Others will remember him as ‘that guy with the dreadlocks’ from last year’s Wimbledon where he upset two-time champion Rafa Nadal.

But surely he’s going to live long in your memory now as he’s just pulled off a shot that is nothing short of miraculous.

Brown was facing off with Bosnia’s Aldin Setki in Italy’s Bergamo Challenger tournament this week when he did this.

A Setki back hand looked to have gotten the better of Brown but the German showed amazing athleticism and ingenuity by wrapping his right hand around his back and volleying the ball beyond his opponent.

And you thought we had oversold it, didn’t you?
