WATCH: Fernandez loses his racquet but wins the point

The wheelchair competitor would advance to the Wimbledon final.

Published Jul 14, 2017

As if winning at Wimbledon wasn't already hard enough. Gustavo Fernandez, playing in the wheelchair men's semifinal, lost his racquet mid-point against Great Britain's Alfie Hewett. Most of the time, that guarantees a lost point. But, Fernandez's shot was so tricky, Hewett didn't reach it.

The amazing moment came in the third set, and Fernandez would go on to win the match, 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-3 to reach the final.

He'll face Stefan Olsson for the title.
