What are we calling this shot by Tommy Paul?

Nice. We call this shot the “wing mirror” on the seldom occasion that it’s a winner. Otherwise known as “a shot in the dark”

No he passed Corretja.

I was referring to a shot of same type but much faster velocity from a 1998 match that tagged the surprised Corretja in the chest.

Agassi apologized. Corretja was a bit annoyed. In post match interviews Andre said that aiming hard over the middle low part of the net was “his only shot.”

In my cursory search for footage, I found written mention of the shot in a 2000 atp finals preview, but didn’t find the clip yet.
