Tsitsipas, Sousa take on Dubai Trick Shot Challenge

Joao Sousa and Stefanos Tsitsipas participated in a series of trick-shot games in Dubai.

Their first task was the Full Can Jam, in which they had to use tennis-ball cans to catch as many balls as they could. Sousa won that one in a tiebreak.

Next, for the Mascot Mash-Up, Tsitsipas and Sousa served balls at the mascots, trying to hit the water balloons in their hands. It took a while, but Sousa landed a direct hit to take a 2-0 lead overall.

For the last challenge, the Dubai Moon Shot, the players tried to hit balls from the top of the stadium into a bin on the court, but neither player was able to make it.

Sousa later lost in the tournament's first round in a third-set tiebreak. Tsitsipas, on the other hand, reached the quarterfinals. The 19-year-old Greek also has his own YouTube channel,where he makes vlog-style videos.

The 14th annual Desert Smash charity tennis event is Tuesday, March 6, and there are many reasons to mark your calendar. Here are just five of those reasons, including the event's host, Serena Williams.

Desert Smash is the kick off to Indian Wells, which will be broadcast on Tennis Channel over the next two weeks.
