Trick shots with a tennis racquet? That’s so two weeks ago.

Now, it seems, some of the players on the ATP and WTA tours are upping the ante as they stay at home due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Golf has long been a popular sport for the pros when they’re not hitting the courts, and it looks like that extra tee time is paying off.

Jamie Murray put the right amount of spin on this one, sending the ball through the symbol of our times: an empty paper roll.

And Alex de Minaur got a friendly bounce on his trick shot, while challenging his Davis Cup teammates John Millman, Jordan Thompson and John Peers, as well as pro golfer Adam Scott.
