Watch this amazing badminton rally at the US Open end with a perfect between-the-legs shot
Who said badminton was a boring sport to watch? This month's US Open has had it all: drama, storylines, crazy rallies and one truly out-of-this-world shot.
It was the final game of the championship between Malaysia’s Lee Chong Wei and Denmark’s Hans-Kristian Vittinghus. Lee Chong, ranked 99 globally, recorded a thumping victory over 16th-ranked Kirstian Vittinghus. But in addition to Lee's upset victory, this match will be remembered for one more thing: Vittinghus’ incredible between-the-legs shot to win a point in the same game.
Lee served him the first shot, which after sometime turned into quick exchanges from both sides. Vittinghus slapped the shuttle close to Lee’s inner court but he managed to get it and pushed a long back hand. In return, Vittinghus ran towards his outer court and managed this incredible between-the-legs shot that won him the point.
