Tennis star performs incredible no-look backhand winner ‘like a boss’ as fans drool over ‘shot of the year’
BRAZILIAN tennis star Ingrid Martins stunned fans with an incredible no-look shot at the Bad Homburg Open on Monday.
The 26-year-old, who is ranked No.73 among women’s doubles players, executed the “shot of the year” in a round-of-16 match against Alexandra Panova and Ulrikke Eikeri.

After Lidziya Marozava – Martins’ doubles partner – returned a strong serve, Eikeri was handed a simple put-away as both players veered to the left side of the court.
However, instead of firing the ball into the empty space, the Norwegian smashed it straight at Martins, who had her back turned.
The Brazilian then quickly swung her racket around her back before making perfect contact with the ball, subsequently winning the point.
Fans were left in awe at the incredible skill, with one person tweeting: “Like a boss.”
Another added: “The more you watch this the more impressive it gets.”
A third said: “What a shot by Ingrid Martins!!!!”
While a fourth questioned: “Shot of the year?”
Marozava couldn’t help but laugh while reacting to her teammate’s shot as she went to high-five her, while the duo’s opposition simply applauded.
