Paula Badosa wins 24-shot rally in tiebreak

When it’s the third-set tiebreak, every shot matters.

Paula Badosa led 3-2 in the tiebreak against Victoria Mboko in the second round in Miami. They rallied back and forth, and Badosa kept the rally alive with an outstretched forehand that allowed Mboko to come to the net and send it home.

But Badosa read Mboko’s shot correctly and hit a powerful backhand down the line to win the pivotal point, and eventually the tiebreak.

Taylor Townsend’s unreal, off-camera shot

This winner by Taylor Townsend is absolutely incredible. The crowd and Townsend’s reactions speak for themselves.

During the 10-shot rally against Sofia Kenin and Lyudmyla Kichenok in the Indian Wells doubles quarterfinals, Katerina Siniakova and Townsend saved a net cord, lob shot and smash volley.

Kichenok aimed the smash volley so far out of the court that Townsend, who returned it with an improbable forehand winner, isn’t even visible on camera. Townsend’s winner set up break point, and they went on to win 7-5, 7-6 (4).

Alycia Parks’ tweener saves match point

If you’re going to save a match point, you might as well do it in style, and Alycia Parks did just that in Indian Wells.

After digging a slice from Diana Shnaider, Parks hustled back to return the ensuing lob shot and delivered a tweener to save match point. Shnaider ended up taking the game 6-1, 6-1, but not before Parks delivered one of the shots of the swing.

Ashlyn Krueger’s forehand winner on set point

We stay in California for this nominee.

Ashlyn Krueger led 9-8 in the second-set tiebreak after dropping the first set. Elina Svitolina had a golden opportunity to extend the tiebreak with a smash volley, but Krueger’s forehand winner locked it down in front of her hometown crowd.

Though Krueger took the set, Svitolina ended up winning the match in the third, 6-1, 6-7 (8), 6-3.

Ena Shibahara’s improbable lob

This lob is just perfection.

Up a set and tied 4-all in the second, Ena Shibahara hit a perfect lob that sailed over Kimberly Birrell’s head and landed on the baseline. Birrell wasn’t even fully at the net, which made Shibahara’s success window to land the shot even smaller.

Despite dropping the second set, Shibahara went on to win the match en route to the quarterfinals in Austin.
