Some accuse professional tennis players of hitting tweeners to play to the crowd. Well, Hubert Hurkacz dispelled that theory on Saturday at the UTR Pro Match Series, hitting a sublime winner struck between his legs and running toward the back wall, with not a fan in sight.

As @whitelinefervor said on Twitter, it was the "shot of the pandemic, at the very least." Judge for yourself, in this four-angle replay:

"That was great," Hurkacz said after the match. "I've been practicing this shot with CB (his coach, Craig Boynton), and I've missed maybe, like, 20 in a row. Yeah, I made one, finally."

Perhaps Hurkacz, who won the third-place match despite finishing 2-1 in round-robin play, thought there actually were fans watching him play in West Palm Beach. After all, the 23-year-old from Poland waved to the would-be patrons after each of his wins.
