At the ATP World Tour Finals on Monday, Henri Kontinen and John Peers took on French Open champions Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez in the first round-robin match for both teams.

A superb doubles rally usually consists of lobs, volleys, smashes, lunges, leaps…in other words, every skill a professional tennis player is expected to possess. This exchange in London had all of that, plus an around-the-post squash shot for good measure.

The fifth-seeded team of Kontinen and Peers won the match, 6-3, 7-6 (7).
