Video: The sneakiest shot you'll see during the U.S. Open

This slipped by us last week (and judging by the upload date on the YouTube clip, everyone else too), but it's good enough to revisit today.

In his second-round match, Romanian Victor Hanescu pulled off a wonderfully sneaky shot for a winner off a Michael Llodra lob.

A simple overhead slam probably works 99 percent of the time right there, but where's the panache in that?

Hanescu went on to lose the match in straight sets.
