Viktor Troicki leaps over the net to hit wicked shot

He didn't win the point, but this was a pretty incredible shot from Viktor Troicki.

Trailing 4-0 in the second set against David Goffin, Troicki was in no mood to give up, athletically leaping over the net in desperation to smash a winner that was ultimately ruled illegal.

Whilst the shot had the crowd on their feet, it broke like a zillion tennis rules. Players cannot hit a ball before it crosses the net, nor land on the opponent's side of the court.

I guess he did both.
