Tennis fans, make an excuse because you're busy for the next two minutes. Trust us.

Nineteen-year-old Yoshihito Nishioka has played one of the tennis shots of the year.

In the Comerica Bank Challenger tournament in Aptos, California, the youngster ranked 134 hit a preposterous winner.

During a frenetic rally in the third set of his second round fixture against Jared Donaldson, ranked 153, the Japanese player pulled off this outrageous behind-the-back shot to win the point.

Take a bow.

He beat Donaldson in the three set match on Wednesday after losing the first set, 6-4, 3-6, 3-6.

He will play Kyle Edmund, ranked 109, in the quarter-finals on Friday. To follow the live scores click here or go to the tournament website.
