Over the weekend at the Tipsport Elite Trophy event in Prague (not to be confused with the WTA event this week), Iga Swiatek pulled out a years-in-the-making trick shot. Facing Denisa Hindova on Saturday, Swiatek came into the net, but turned the tables pretending to hit an overhead before turning the racquet upside down and letting the ball fall gently over the net.
