US Open 2018: Roger Federer says stunning shot was 'special'
Roger Federer smiled to himself after his incredible shot, while Nick Kyrgios could only gasp in disbeliefRoger Federer says a stretching forehand winner around the net post that left opponent Nick Kyrgios open-mouthed in disbelief ranks as one of the greatest shots of his career.
The 37-year-old Swiss somehow reached a drop-shot from Kyrgios to flick it past the incredulous Australian on his way to a three-set win in the US Open third round.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion was already in control, leading two sets to love, when he produced the shot on advantage point for Kyrgios at 3-3.
"I definitely think it was a special one, no doubt about it," said the second seed, who won 6-4 6-1 7-5.
