It is not every day at Wimbledon that you see a game winning shot from the player’s butt, but that is exactly what happened on Tuesday morning when Poland’s Agnieszka Radwanska advanced to the semifinals with a win over Li Na.

Radwanska’s shot came in the final set of the match. 

When you see the shot, it is hard to believe she was able to get it off, let alone have the ball land where she wanted to earn the point, but that is why she’s a professional.

It’s a shot you have to see to believe, so check out this GIF of the play courtesy of Business Insider:

Unlike the infamous butt fumble from New York Jets Mark Sanchez, this play involving an athlete’s hind quarters will be remembered for positive reason.

Radwanska’s next match will come against rising star Sabine Lisicki, who has become the tournament favorite since knocking off No. 1 Serena Williams, with a shot of advancing to the Wimbledon final on the line.
