This insane table tennis shot left both players flabbergasted

This shot over the weekend at the 2016 ITTF World Tour Laox Japan Open was incredible.

This shot over the weekend at the 2016 ITTF World Tour Laox Japan Open was incredible.

Pro player Fan Zhendong, in a match against Simon Gauzy, recovered from what surely was destined to be a winner from Gauzy and flipped it onto his end for a point. He actually had to reach all the way onto his opponent's side, which I wasn't even sure was legal, and then pop it straight into the air.

Gauzy's reaction, which was like he just walked through his front door and saw his dog ripping up some pillows, was pretty priceless.

Zhendong went on to win the Men's Singles title. He deserved it.
