Just making it into the main draw of the US Open is amazing enough, but saving a match point against a well-established player like Mischa Zverev? That might just make someone do push-ups on the court.

In fact, 2017 NCAA champion Thai-Son Kwiatkowski did just that, falling to the court after returning a serve from the German and immediately going into a mid-match workout, with surprisingly good form. Unfortunately, channeling his inner bodybuilder didn't help him win the match, losing after five tough sets, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.

The 22-year-old relished the opportunity, however, and isn't letting the loss hold him back.
