Serena shows off slew of trick shots for Dude Perfect

Nearly 10 million YouTube followers can't be wrong. The sports-clip dynamos of Dude Perfect have carved out a super-niche for themselves on that platform, and Serena Williams joins them for an expertly timed video just as we dip into this year's play at the French Open.

Also expertly timed in the nearly-eight-minute video: nearly every trick-shot Serena tries with her ragtag group of pals. "I suggested against this, just for the record," Serena says before blasting a tennis-ball canister off the head of an unassuming Dude Perfect team member on the Delray Beach Open's stadium court in Florida.

Sure, no one except those who participated knows how long each segment took to actually succeed on film. But who cares? The relentless fun and quirky features command attention, as when Team Dude Perfect finds out how many of its own players it takes to win a point against Serena. (Read: More guys than they have.) Come for Serena's newly patented Palm Beach Swisher shot. Stay for her talk of Pop Tarts versus toaster strudels and keep watching for a brief water-balloon fight.

That's Serena, in a nutshell: the first player on everyone's lips as they survey the field at a major tournament, and at the same time a cross-platform sensation in pop culture.
