Bulgarian tennis player Grigor Dimitrov played one of the craftiest shots we have ever seen during the ATP Swiss Indoor Championship in Basel.

By Declan Whooley

Taking a return from opponent Viktor Troiki, Dimitrov took a drop shot around his back to win the point. The speed of thought, the execution and the fact that Troiki was not able to respond made it a truly sensational effort.

You know it is something special when your opposite number tries to rouse the crowd in appreciation of the shot.

Dimitrov then went on to win the game 6-3 6-2.
