'Don't see that very often': Dimitrov hits crazy double-let winner

Grigor Dimitrov was on the receiving end of an incredible slice of luck against Rafa Nadal, bouncing a ball off the top of the net twice before it dropped over.

The Bulgarian had just taken the second set in Friday night's blockbuster semi-final when pulled off the ridiculously lucky winner.

DREAM FINAL: Nadal beats Dimitrov in epic five-setter

Dimitrov hit a forehand down the line that caught the tape on top of the net.

If it had simply dropped over from there it would have been lucky, but the ball decided to bounce on top of tape AGAIN before falling onto Nadal's side.

Dimitrov immediately apologised for the flukey winner, before making a hilarious face as if to say "I got away with that one".

"You don't see that very often," said Todd Woodbridge in commentary.

Unfortunately for Dimitrov his luck ran out as Nadal advanced to a dream final with Roger Federer.
