Olympian can't hold onto his tennis racket, wins the point anyway
The Olympics is hardly the premiere event in tennis. Still, it can be worth watching -- especially for moments like this one.
Kei Nishikori from Japan was playing against Spanish player Albert Ramos-Vinolas on Saturday when he dropped his tennis racket. But instead of losing hope, Nishikori picked up his racket and fired a couple of powerful forehand swings before winning the game.
Watch as Ramos-Vinolas is forced to loop the ball over the net to Nishikori, who proceeds to backhand smash it over the net and, a little while later, win the game.
This is Nishikori's third Olympic games. He ended the day with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over his opponent.
This is how you get it done, folks.
