People ask the difference between tennis and table tennis, but for now we got some similarities for sure. Check out this Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer like between the legs shot by Bulgaria's Teodor Alexandrov on day one, 29th May 2017 of the Liebherr 2017 World Championships.

On Monday 29th May 2017, Teodor Alexandrov of Bulgaria produced a Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal like between the legs shot against Emmanuel Yann Kouadjo of Cote d’Ivoire in the Men’s Singles Qualification group stage.

Alexandrov was leading 1-0 and 10-16 in the second game when both the players produced this outrageous rally, where Alexandrov first does a behind the back shot, and for the next ball, he does a between the legs shot!

Reminds us of 2011 ATP Madrid Open Finals where Rafael Nadal did the same or the 2009 US Open when Roger Federer did the miracle!
