We had to make a separate thread for this epic shot played today at the Kuwait Open 2013! Check out France's Quentin Robinot against Kiryl Barabanov. Both players are in shock for the first few seconds :) This shot could well be a potential candidate for the 2013 Best shots of the year video :)

This back shot is unlike most others, as Quentin topspin's the ball from behind his back!

Enjoy.

damn such an amazing back shot xo
totally unexpected
bratanov is a little bit like the opponent of matsumoto when matsumoto did that backshot, i can't remember wich open it was

I thought the exact same.. Very similar reaction. he thought he had one the point and then bam a back shot!

At 1.31 you can see your example :) It featured in our best shots of 2011 video :)

The thing I love about this video mostly, is, that also Robinot thought he lost the point!
If you watch carefully, you will see it! He already (bodylanguage) gave up on that point, when he saw the counter-topspin down the line..
He definitelly didnt mean to bring that ball back on the table, he just wanted to hit the ball..
It took few seconds till he realised that the ball actually fell on the table and he won the point he already considered lost..
Then the real cute smile (and I am not gay, I just love to see people smile) and a real sport gesture from the Belarusian with clapping on a shot that shouldnt really happen, hehe :)

Maybe Quentin was inspired by my back shot for the TTD Trick Shot video :D Only joking, I cannot get over how amazing Quentin's shot is. He doesnt even realise he done it I don't think!
