What do you mean "clutch"? Like the best shot you've ever hit or the most lucky shank winner?

Clutch by definition is actually being able to perform under extreme pressure. (Ex: A running forehand passing shot to save match point.)

that would be my most clutch shot. down 63 36 45 40-30 opp. serve. he kicks his serve out wide, i hit a weak backhand return crosscourt. he then hits a huge forehand inside in approach. i run across the court and hit a forehand down the line passing shot. didnt lose a point after that hhah.
and ive hit a tweener-lob-winner to win a match. luckiest shot ever.

i was playing doubles w/ my partner for my high school team and in VA doubles in high school play a pro set (first to 8 games win by 2) and we were down 7-4 and i started to play bad and get frustrated and my coach said i was playing like a baby and that motivated me and my partner to play better....after a few games i was serving for the match at 8-7, i was up 40-0 and i made 2 quick unforced errors to make it 40-30. I served out wide and started to rally crosscourt with the other team. After about 10 seconds of rallying i realized that the net man was looking at his partner so i slammed a forehand down the line and he dumped the volley into the net and we won the match, clinched the #5 spot in the district coming off a rebuilding year and the guy i hit the ball to was a kid who had beat me in the final of a tournament in the fall. I got my revenge and all of my teammates went crazy and paraded me and my partner around. It was sweet.

It was a huge point in one match & we were both pushing it. I completely intended him to draw the error. We rallyed it like forever & he hit it to my bh side, I quickly ran around & hit a forehand & it just zoomed crosscourt right on the corner. I had no intention of a winner but it happened. It was the most amazing & lucky shot Ive ever hit. He was very mentally strong up til I won that point. We both couldnt believe how I pulled that winner out from nowhere. Im serious, Id never felt so much like Federer. In that set where I made that shot I was down 2-4 to win the set 6-4 and the next set I was up quickly 5-2 but I didnt close out til 6-4.

Probably the luck flat serve ace, turned around a tiebreaker. Not only that, but our school overall and the other school were tied in points (3 wins 3 losses).
Other than that, another match I hit 2 lucky lobs in a row...lobs definately not being my best shot...at all.

HS doubles, with my partner, 757tennis. We were playing our rivals and were in a tight match. It was our breakpoint, and we were in a defensive position. Both our opponents were at net, both me and 757tennis were at the basline. My partner threw up a weak crosscourt lob to the ad side that would have landed on their service line. Our opponent took it out of the air and crushed the overhead down the middle. I took it with my two hander, and thought, I'm crushing this ball right at the guy who had just hit the overhead. The backhand wizzed past his racquet as he hardly had time to recover from his last shot. It went atleast 75 mph. This shot started an insane rally for me and 757tennis.

Saved a Match Point with a sick short angle 1st serve return.
Saved the match. And led to a win.
phew*
I've hit a couple of drop shot return winners on match point. Mostly because, if I'm at match point down, I've nearly broken my racquet, I'm worn out and angry, and part of me just hopes that if I hit a drop shot my opponent will trip on his way to it and have to quit the match due to injury. And I often hit second serve aces, but on one occasion I hit one on break point down. That pretty much turned me into an ace machine for that game, because of the extreme boost to my confidence. Mind you it was another case of me saying "**** it, I've double-faulted twice this game and I don't deserve to hold serve, here goes nothing".
And I don't want to sound like I was bragging about my serve, pretty much I get an ace or double-fault. Usually the latter.

I don't know why, but I have a thing for dropshots. It was a deciding third set tiebreak, he was up 9-5, We played a long point, I come to net, he hits a great shot, I bareley scoop it up and win the point with a drop half-volley. I went on to win that match

In a friendly match against my buddy, I played with the ad and trying to win the first set (the score was 5-4.) I ran up to the net to try to tap the ball in but my opponent lobbed it deep. I ran all the way back to my baseline, hit the ball with a backhand overhead and it bounced just inside the corner of my opponent's baseline. Classic.

ok i was playing the number 1 seed in a tourney and he had a huge kick serve backed up with a good forehand and I couldnt break him. I was down 0-40 at 5-6 in the first and I hit a ridiculous angle ace out wide (first ace in a while) and two unreturnables. after holding, in the tb i got to set point at 6-5 and came into net after a weak approach, he CRUSHED a forehand right at me and i punched the volley right into the other corner off both lines, followed by a C'mon!!! i won 6-2 in the second:)

Mine was a backhand topspin lob.
It was 4-5 30 40 on my serve.
and this giant who was a junior in high school, came to the net and hit a piercing volley.
I Just thought about a lob, luckily it was SUPER GOOD.
Anything below super would have been a smash for him.
I swear to god he was the biggest junior I have ever seen.
I was 14 when I hit that shot, and still am. =]

Backhand lob, and it wasn't a usual backhand top spin lob, I was pushed back to the back off the court by a guy 10 years older than me and he was really good (high on the ratings..higher than 3.5), I sliced the BH and the lob was inch perfect. Left him wondering what I just did. :) Made my day. Of course next point, he rocketed an ace down the middle, still...

opponent hit serve, I hit a big forehand that clipped the tape and hit the baseline, he returns it deep, i smash another forehand that clips the tape and lands short this time... i thought that was insane!

I was being worked side to side for break point, he hit the ball right on the corner of the backhand side and came in behind it. I flicked my wrist with my racquet up, and hit a lob over his head that clipped the corner down the line. He tried to run it down, but couldn't. My defensive lobs are amazingly reliable, no matter what form I'm using.

My opponent was was running me around at 4-2 40-30 (he was up). And he hit a hard shot to the forehand corner. I ran my guts out and got it back. But he was at the net and he hit a drop volley all the way on the other corner of the court. So I ran with all my might and hit a running backhand crosscourt winner that was pretty sick

Some knucklehead was hitting on this hottie so I bailed her out by hitting on her. Best hit of my life.

High School doubles me and my partner were playing a senior and a junior of our rival school and we were freshman and sophomore. We were down 1 set which we played horrible (1-6) and in the second set it was 2-5. I hit an amazing poaching angled backhand volley about a foot and a half from the net on the right service box. In the next game we were down again 15-40 their match point i served 2 monster aces one on the T and one out wide and it got our momentum going. I faulted my next serve and with amazing risk i hit a flat serve and got the ace on the T again. (we dont play ad lol). My partner and i got our momentum going from this and we ended up winning the set 7-5 and in the super tie break (dont play 3 set 2 sets 1 super tie break kinda dumb) we won 10-3 it was amazing you had to see it

Mine was also a DTL Tweener Winner off a lob of a #2 singles match when I was down in the second set. After that shot the momentum switched in my favor and I won that set and the third. It was a thing of beauty.

I just switched racquets before the match (2 square inches larger). Match point against a quality opponent, he comes to net, hits a smash and i hit a down the line on the run forehand that I have no clue how I got for the winner. He was pissed and threw his racquet haha. I was like COME ON!!!!!!!! Final score was 6-4 6-4.

i do that almost every match..i do it when my opponent comes to the net and i cant see a spot to hit a passing shot and i also do it when i cant hit a good clear angle winner or when im drawn out of the court near the service box and my opponent comes to the net.. i just hit it into his body and hopefully hit his balls !

During a tournament, a little while ago, I was playing really badly, but my return of serve was sick.
This guy was hitting serves that were about as high as my head at an intense speed, and at least 4 times I just ran around it to my forehand and BLASTED it crosscourt. Was a great feeling.

Despite my big serve, I often times choke on my service games in tournaments and find myself down 15-40 too often. But almost every time, I come up with a couple of aces or unreturnable serves and eventually win the game. I've also served a couple aces to save match point.

Saved 13 match points in a match to win 1-6, 7-6(11) 6-1. Hit a lob winner on the run down match point.
Or down the T, second serve ace on match point for a 6-0, 6-0 win.
