Arruabarrena: Best Trick Serve Ever?

  • Posted: Jan 01, 1970

Spanish player Lara Arruabarrena is well known for her skills and touch on clay courts, but earlier this week she may have hit her best shot ever.

While trying out some trick shots and skills with the tennis ball at the Mutua Madrid Open, Arruabarrena’s coach captured a soccer-inspired trick serve that’s lighting up social media.

We’ll let you see it here for yourself:

We caught up with Arruabarrena when she arrived in Madrid this morning.

“I just did it for fun,” she told wtatennis.com. “I had never done such a thing, you know, first touching the ball with my foot to hit a serve.”

A friend of Arruabarrena’s saw the trick on Instagram and dared her try it out on the practice court.

“Can you imagine I did this in a match? I don´t think I can,” she laughed. “Maybe during the warm up.”

“Just another new way of practicing some serves.”

Arruabarrena’s trick serve might be impressive, but is it the best you’ve ever seen?

After all, earlier this year Yulia Putintseva hit a serve at the BNP Paribas Open that could rival Arruabarrena’s. Check it out:

 And let’s not forget Elina Svitolina’s serve of the year at the 2014 China Open:
