Athletes need carbs, right? In Vienna, a crew of players hit the kitchen to craft up a local delicacy, pancakes. In Austria, the pancake, or palachinka, is much thinner than the thick American version, and actually even thinner than the French crepe.

Grigor Dimitrov showed off the smoothest pancake-flipping skills, while Frances Tiafoe, Sam Querrey, Diego Schwartzman, Marcelo Melo and Mike Bryan all created their own masterpieces.

A local restaurant, Plachutta, guided the players through the lesson to great success, but the players didn't do as well on the court. Tiafoe, Dimitrov and Schwartzman all lost their openers, while Querrey fell in the second round. Both doubles stars, Melo and Bryan, are still in the draw.
