Plays of the Week
From bicycle kicks to body slams, these are the most exciting, silly and downright crazy plays in the sport world this week.
PT2M2S 620 349Samantha Stosur has battled her way through to the second round of the WTA event in Charleston, South Carolina.
The 10th-seeded Australian saved 16 break points in the 6-4 6-4 win over world No.124 Aleksandra Krunic on Monday, in a match that lasted an hour and 39 minutes.
World No.26 Stosur, who won the event in 2010 and made the semi-finals in 2012, struggled with strong winds as she was broken four times and sent down 11 double faults in the topsy-turvy performance.

"My tennis could have been a little bit better, and my serve especially," she said.

"Whether it was the conditions, a bit of lack of focus at times, whatever the case, it's certainly something that I need to rectify for the next round."
She will now face Slovakian Jana Cepelova in the second round.
Meanwhile, Australian qualifier Matthew Barton won through to the second round of the US Men's Clay Court Championship in Houston.
The 24-year-old defeated Argentine seventh seed Guido Andreozzi 6-3 6-4 without conceding a break of serve.
The world No.270 Barton also won an ATP Challenger Tour tournament in California last month, before qualifying for the main draw of the clay championships.
Barton, the only Australian in the main draw, will now face world No.25 American Jack Sock.
