Though he didn't win the match, a few things went exceptionally well for 35-year-old Radek Stepanek in his second-round match with Roger Federer at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. First, the Czech ended an 18-set losing streak when he took the middle set in a tiebreaker from Federer. Second, he hit this crazy diving lob that brought the crowd (yes, even the majority of Fedophiles in the crowd) to its feet.
Oh, and if you want to see some majestic shotmaking from the Swiss maestro, just check the sublime touch lob he hit over Stepanek's head in the second set (below). Not quite as mindblowing as Monday's tweener, but not bad at all...
