Quentin Halys of France has been flying by the seats of his pants in Gstaad.
Living proof: the 27-year-old World No.192 hit this unbelievable forehand topspin drive from his bottom throughout Friday’s 6-1, 7-5 victory over Brazil’s Gustavo Heide.
Commentator Nick Lester mentioned it greatest: “I’m undecided I’ve ever seen something like that earlier than.”
How on EARTH 🤯

Absolutely Halys hasn’t been in a position to apply that shot fairly often, however when he tumbled on the baseline on Friday, he knew precisely what to do. How do you get this a lot work on the ball with out using your legs?
Halys has been enjoying nice tennis of late. He reached third spherical at Wimbledon from qualifying, and is into his first tour-level semifinal since April of 2023 on the stunning Swiss venue.
In different motion on the Swiss Open Gstaad, fifth-seeded Jan-Lennard Struff defeated No.4 seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 – the 34-year-old German will face Halys for a spot within the remaining on Saturday.
Within the high half of the draw, Stefanos Tsitsipas faces Fabio Fognini whereas Matteo Berrettini and Felix Auger Aliassime will conflict.
