Smith has the greatest hand eye coordination in cricket that I have ever seen, why are people surprised that he did that.

In this video novak is just being careful and hitting a slow server but still indeed Steve is a great athlete and has a great reaction time and eye-to-hand coordination...this ball in the vid is probably 85mph but pro tennis is 125mph+ while in cricket the ball is 90mph on avg.

Least surprised that Steve Smith was able to return the serve. Not just because he's great at cricket, he's also a huge tennis fan and a very big Roger fan, so he's probably used to playing tennis occasionally. Lovely moment nevertheless ❤ So glad Djokovic is experiencing these lovely moments late in his career. Well deserved 🎉

It's not a big surprise for cricket fans like me. Steve Smith plays 150kmph hard balls in cricket. It's not that easy to trick his eyes with that speed especially with tennis ball. He plays the deliveries from Archer, Bumrah, Shami, Shaheen Afridi, Nortje, Starc etc. It's not a big deal for him to spot the ball and hit it back. It's a pleasure to see two different sports legends collide each other. Thanks Novak Love from India❤❤❤

Novak probably hit that serve at 70 to 80 mph. Smith is used to facing the meanest bowlers bowling hard cricket balls at 90 plus mph with variable bounce and swing, that can potentially kill him if he doesn't get it right. Of course he returned that serve.

thats why i always say that a cricketer especially batsman can quickly adapt to any sport. its not a an easy task to face 140 plus kmph everyday and out. on the other hand fast bowling too is a very serious stuff which requires lots of talent and practice. i mean its not easy to deliver a ball where shoulder muscle has to be prime force rather than wrist muscle. thats why i always say that a cricketer can definitely become a good tennis player and baseball player but same can not happen vice versa. cricket is an extremely difficult sport
