The Saga of Jiri Vesely’s Overheads, As Told in GIFs

By Amy on March 10, 2014

Jiri Vesely pushed a sloppy Andy Murray to the brink in Murray’s 7-6(2), 4-6, 6-4 third round win in Indian Wells. While Vesely is a promising young talent, he’s going to need some work on his overheads. Luckily for him, Novak Djokovic is living proof that you can become World No. 1 without ever learning to hit one properly!

I’ll let the GIFs do the talking:

Finally, Vesely made a successful overhead, and celebrated properly:

Amy can be spotted on a tennis court in the Philadelphia area, shanking backhand volleys.

    I think I hit better overhead than him…
    And I barely hit one in.

    I think Djokovic now breathed a sigh of relief – the Mantle of Ovehead Overlord has passed to a worthy successor.
