VIDEO: Benoit Paire hits ridiculous tweener while airborne

Benoit Paire gave us another magical moment during his match against Kei Nishikori at the Japan Open.

The charismatic Frenchman is known for producing tweeners and other brilliant shots, but he took it even further during the second-round encounter on Wednesday as he decided to spice things up by hitting the shot while in the air.

Enjoy, it’s certainly something we want to see of more on the tennis court.

So good you need to watch it again 👌
