This hot shot defines athleticism.

The China Open in Beijing is underway, and that means incoming hot shots. This running backhand winner from John Willman easily soaked up John Bautista Agut's firepower to deliver a passing shot off a smash well worthy of a celebration.

Unfortunately, the winner wasn't enough to save Millman from a 4-6, 6-3, 3-6 defeat to Agut, who will play Great Britain's Kyle Edmund in the second round.
