I was having dinner with my family and my brother in laws family.

I had conveniently sat in a seat where I could see the TV although it was on silent.

When I saw that shot, I jumped off my chair and started screaming. Everybody started looking at me like something is wrong with me.

I grabbed the remote to turn up the volume and told everyone to shut up and watch the shot.

Upon replay, everyone was very impressed.

Add to that, my nephew who is only 4 and knows only one tennis player by name, roger federer, turned around and asked me "is that roger federer?"

I just looked at him and said yes and gave him a high five.

highlight of my day right there.

Awesome shot but quite a bit of luck involved there.

Love Troicki's reaction though.
