Seppi's Match-Point Winner Against Federer Heralded as One of the Best Ever

Unseeded Italian Andreas Seppi stunned Roger Federer at the Australian Open on Thursday and did so in style. 

Seppi won the contest 6-4, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-6 (5) and it was his passing shot on match point that really had people purring. 

Indeed, former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash described it as one of the best passing shots he's ever seen.

Cash was not alone in his love of the shot. 

"

If any player has hit a better running passing shot on match point to knock Roger Federer out of a Slam, I'd love to see it. Wow. #Seppi

It's like God himself came onto the court and pushed Seppi's match point passing shot inside the lines. https://t.co/yUffAPmTcT

I was convinced that Fed had saved that MP. I think we all were! The shot of Seppi's life.
