Alexander Zverev's new racquet: world No. 2 chooses Buenos Aires and Golden Swing to get earlier reps on clay

Last week in Tokyo, Anastasia Sevastova showed off her quick hands during the Toray Pan Pacific Open, making a tricky reverse overhead against Garbine Muguruza look like child's play.

This second-round contest also served as a US Open re-match. Sevastova recently sent the world No. 3 home in a stunning upset in New York.

Sevastova, 26, is known for having retired from tennis in 2013 due to persistent injuries, making her run to the US Open quarterfinals this year that much sweeter.

Despite the hot shot, she fell 6-3, 6-3 to Muguruza in Tokyo. She can, however, still enjoy her career-high ranking of world No. 30.
