Video: Radwanska’s Inside-Out, Ninjafied Sky-Hook Winner

The Ninja has struck again, pulling off a shot so improbably creative and artistically inspiring that all we can do is bow down whilst pledging allegiance to Agnieszka Radwanska's brilliance. We’ve seen Sky hook smashes from Aga before. And, they’ve wowed us before. But this unorthodox gem elevates the canon of sky-hook smashes to a new level.

Most players just hack at the ball and hit it anywhere they can when faced with the daunting task of connecting with a ball mid-flight and with back to the net. But on this play Radwanska somehow finds a way to control the ball—she lifts off into the air and snaps the ball into the open court for a clean winner, actually appearing to manipulate the angle of her racquet face mid-stroke in order to ensure she hits it sweetly.

It was a tough loss for Radwanska to a very talented and rising Anna Karolina Schmiedlova on Tuesday, but this shot is proof that the magic of Radwanska is still very much in effect.
