Video: Tsonga and Sela Forget What Sport They’re Playing

If this long distance football match lasted a few more kicks, it might have went down as one of the greatest tennis rallies of all time—without racquets!

But even though it only lasted three kicks and just over ten seconds, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Dudi Sela’s impromptu footy match was most certainly one of the offbeat highlights of Day 4. And, if offbeat is your thing, it was the highlight of Day 4.

Tsonga went on to win the match in straights, 6-4, 6-1, 6-1. In other words, Sela would win only two more games from this point, so we guess it’s good that he got his kicks here.
