Australian tennis player Alex De Minaur is competing at the Wimbledon Championships 2021. Prior to the Championships, he won the singles title in Eastbourne. Unfortunately, he lost in the opening round singles match at the All England Club. However, he’s competing in the doubles event.

Yesterday, during his doubles match, Alex De Minaur hit one of the most impossible shots in tennis. During the match, all four players were standing near the service box and exchanged volley and drop shots. At one point, the opponent places a tight-angeled drop shot which went moving away off the court.

At that point, the Australian athlete went running, giving it his all. Successfully, he managed to hit the ball back after connecting the shot way outside the court. In the end, he won the point and ended up falling flat without damaging himself in any possible way. 

The rest of the three players on the court were shell-shocked and applauded the effort from De Minaur. The Australian had partnered with fellow countryman Matt Reid. They won their opening round match against the British pair of Luke Johnson and Anton Matusevich.

Speaking about De Minaur’s performance in the singles category, he lost in the first round to America’s Sebastian Korda. It was a close-fought battle and the match ended in four sets. After winning the title last week in Eastbourne, the Australian player would surely feel disappointed.

Besides De Mianur, his fellow compatriot Nick Kyrgios is performing well at the Championships this year. After winning his tricky first-round match, Kyrgios cruised through in the second round and has booked a meeting with Felix Auger-Aliassime in the third round.
