America's Tommy Paul wowed fans at the U.S. Open on Wednesday when he chased down the ball and hit it around the net in a stunning shot during his second-round win over Croatia's Dino Prizmic.
In the fourth — and what wound up being the final — set of the match, Paul caught up with a shot hit far to his right, diving into a chair to make the save as he successfully hit the ball around the post.
The around-the-net shot, while difficult to pull off, indeed counted, joining a list of others that have gone down at the iconic tournament in Queens over the years.
Tennis accounts on social media were inawe at the play by Paul including The Tennis Letter, who called it "THE SHOT OF THE TOURNAMENT."
Following his win, Paul said he was worried about putting the ball in first and "then not dying" as he risked a potential injury by diving into the chair.
