Sorry. But I think that backhand by Ouiache is pretty flipping awesome. But so is Timo’s swaphand.

And still, my favorite and the one I think is the craziest is XX’s wild, around the net hook shot. That is just my favorite thing ever.

One day I will get footage of me doing that just like that. Hahahaha.

That Koki Niwa... Jedi TT. That's just next level to anyone else. Noone can do that.. I wish he becomes more proficient in it and gets world no. 1 :))

says Spin to win!
I guess you have to define what "crazy" means - The best rally was Ouaiche, especially with the epic finish! But as an individual shot.... it's just an epic epic backhand (relatively normal).

The spin and position on both swap hand shots win it for me - Just unbelievable skill!

My fav shot is that strawberry flick. The misdirection, the speed. It's outside of the box and it was perfect.

While the effort was great, I'm always a little surprised how much Timo's diving shot gets play. Great effort. But he lost the point if I remember correctly. I mean come on. It's a missed shot. How is it on this list?

Degree of difficulty: XX around the net or Boll dive

Style points: Koki Niwa Casual Block

Best Point: Ouaiche Backhand over Feng Yalan Swap Hand (which gets my vote for best swap hand)

Shot I'm trying to learn but finding even harder than it looks: Ruiz Backhand Strawberry Flick

Craziest (hardest to believe he put the ball back on the table): Boll Dive

Some of those shots are skillful but also very lucky. Like the Boll dive.

The Niwa shots look like a show of pure cold-hearted skill and calculation. Perfect placement, everything.
