Murray hits between-the-legs winner again

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Andy Murray has a new favorite between-the-legs trick shot.

He’s used it twice in recent weeks, including at Wimbledon on Friday against Ivan Ljubicic.

During the fourth set, Ljubicic hit a short ball, and Murray hopped in the air, brought his racket behind his back and casually flicked a shot through his legs. The ball floated over the net and landed in for a cross-court winner.

It was nearly identical to a shot Murray hit during his victory over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final of the Queen’s Club grass-court tournament June 13.
