Sports can be completely unpredictable. For instance, one moment, a tennis player will be hitting a serve, and the next, they’re doing a split mid-air while hitting the ball between their legs.
Thankfully, photographers are quick and have captured some of these perfectly timed sports moments on film. So, keep scrolling because some of these instances almost looked staged.
