'Her greatest ever': Serena stuns with incredible winner

'Her greatest ever': Serena stuns with incredible winner

Australian Open fans witnessed one of the best shots of Serena Williams' career in her straight sets victory over Belinda Bencic.

The World No.2 was stretched to the max early in her first round match on Tuesday but someone managed to produce a stunning sliced backhand across court for the winner.

Commentators were initially gobsmacked.

"Serena has hit some great shots in her life but I think she might put this down as one of the greatest shots she's ever hit in her life," Rennae Stubbs said.

"Absolute zinger."

Improving her phenomenal first-round record at grand slams to 66 wins and one defeat, Williams outclassed the highly rated Swiss teenager 6-4 6-3 in one hour, 19 minutes.
