Maria Sharapova, Venus Williams among stars who honor science achievement at Breakthrough Prize Ceremony

At the WTA tournament in Sydney, Australia, second-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska added another shot to her growing career highlight reel during her second-round match against Christina McHale.

With McHale serving at 4-5, 30-15, the pair entered into a rally, one in which McHale was able to put Radwanska on defense, and set herself up for an easy putaway smash.

But when it comes to winning a point against “The Magician,” it’s impossible for anything to be considered an “easy putaway.” Radwanska ripped a forehand winner off McHale’s overhead, and made it look easy.

McHale did everything by the book during that point, including lining up her overhead after the ball bounced. Perhaps a silent whisper to the tennis gods of, “Please don’t let her return this ball,” would have helped?

Radwanska went on to win the match, 7-6(1), 6-1, and faces qualifier Ying-Ying Duan of China in the quarterfinals.
