In opening round play at the Australian Open, Agnieszka Radwanska outlasted Tsvetana Pironkova, 6-1, 4-6, 6-1. The match was made even more exciting thanks to an impressive tweener passing shot winner from the world No. 3's racquet.

When asked about the hot shot, Radwanska proudly compared herself to men's tennis players who have been known to pull of the tweener.

"I'm watching a lot of men's tennis—a lot of Nick [Kyrgios], Roger [Federer] and everyone..." she said. "So I just can say women can do it as well."

When then asked if she could hit the shot better than Federer or Kyrgios, Radwanska responded, "I don't think so but I am still working on it."

She'll have more chances to work on tweeners in the second round against Mirjana Lucic-Baroni.
