Watch: Strycova Splits, Sits and Stuns

Barbora Strycova pulled off a rare triple play of thrill in an even rarer double knockdown point.

The 30th-seeded Strycova outdueled Agnieszka Radwanska in one of the most amazing points of this Roland Garros.

Watch the flexible Czech slide into a split for a stab forehand, then from a sitting position reflex a forehand back into the court. Radwanska, who also slid into a seat on the red clay, extended the point only to see Strycova scramble to her feet and bunt a backhand winner down the line.

That acrobatic effort sparked Strycova, who rallied from a 2-6, 0-3 deficit to take the second set in a tie break and force a decisive third set against the second seed.
