Note: We’ve only selected shots from WTA 1000, 500 and 250 events.

Linda Noskova’s unbelievable down-the-line winner

Linda Noskova really had no business winning this point. Jessica Pegula moved her from corner to corner and set herself up with an overhead smash.

That’s when Noskova did the unthinkable, lunging for an unbelievable backhand winner down the line. Both Pegula and Noskova stood in disbelief. Pegula won this Bad Homburg semifinal 6-7 (2), 7-5, 6-1, but Noskova took home June’s Shot of the Month honors.

Laura Siegemund’s hustle scores in Bad Homburg

Victoria Azarenka made Laura Siegemund earn this point in Bad Homburg.

Initially, Siegemund moved Azarenka from each end of the court, but somehow Azarenka kept the point alive. After Siegemund hit a backhand return from her baseline, Azarenka attemped a drop shot, but Siegemund’s speed to dig the ball won this hard-fought point in front of the German crowd.

Azarenka won the match 6-2, 6-2.

Mirra Andreeva’s set-point slice

The spin that Mirra Andreeva put on this slice is wicked.

On both set and break point against Magdalena Frech in the first round of Berlin, Andreeva saw Frech’s positioning and went for the slice.

Landing on the sideline, the ball’s spin caused a change of direction Frech wasn’t expecting, ultimately securing the first set for the teenager. Frech, however, came back to win 2-6, 7-5, 6-0.

Ekaterina Alexandrova’s jaw-dropping backhand

The crowd’s collective gasp in unison is all you need to know about this point.

Early in the first set in a semifinal matchup between Ekaterina Alexandrova and Elise Mertens in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Mertens appeared to have hit the winning forehand, so much that there was some premature clapping.

But Alexandrova didn’t quit, lunged for an incredible backhand return and broke Mertens’ serve. The match turned out to be a thriller with Mertens emerging victorious 2-6, 7-6 (7), 6-4 to advance to the final.

Heather Watson’s acceleration from baseline scores drop shot

We end the nominees with doubles in Eastbourne.

Heather Watson and Mingge Xu were tied 5-5 in the opening set vs. Magali Kempen and Tang Qianhui. In this quick, 11-shot rally, Watson tried a cross-court winner and a lob to break through, but it wasn’t until she saved a smash volley and hustled for a winning drop shot to secure the point.
