Paire stuns with insane drop shot serve-and-volley

Published Jun 14, 2018

It's no secret that Benoit Paire is a master of entertainment whenever he's on a tennis court. A few hours after Nick Kyrgios pulled off a tweener winner on center court in Stuttgart, Paire took to the same court and one upped him.

The Frenchman hit a tweener drop shot winner after serving and volleying.

The incredible feat deserved all the standing ovations in the world. Paire was understandably pretty pleased with himself.

The Frenchman was battling with Tomas Berdych in the second round of the ATP 250 event. While Kyrgios won his encounter with Maximilian Marterer, only dropping one game after hitting his tweener winner in the third set, Paire would fall in straight sets.
