Pablo Cuevas rose to the occasion on Friday in Madrid. Taking on Alexander Zverev, the world No. 27-ranked Argentine looked like he was going to try a tweener, but instead ripped one of the most incredible shots of the year, and possibly the decade.

The sneaky no-looking trick shot turned out to be a direct winner, stunning Zverev. The young German wouldn't win a game in that set.

Cuevas would go on to win the encounter, 3-6, 6-0, 6-4 to reach the semifinals.
