Video: Benoit Paire’s Insane Hopman Cup ‘Tweener

Which is more insane, the quality of this Benoit Paire ‘Tweener, or the fact that the Frenchman actually went for this shot when a typical, conventional forehand was available? Well, let's give Benoit the benefit of the doubt and say he used the 'tweener as a tool of "deception." Certainly Marinko Matosevic couldn't get a read on this wild, leaping between-the-legs winner...

Ah, no matter, it’s Hopman Cup, and Paire made the right call. He chose to bring the crowd to its feet—and render the commentators speechless (except for aw, Come on!), and he executed superbly.

The Frenchman is a bonafide, show-stopping shot maker, and he made that clear on this exchange. Hopefully someday, Paire will manage a ranking to equal his shotmaking.
