VIDEO: Sarasota local bests world tennis pro

Ray Collins is back from Key Biscayne with an amazing story to tell. The Sarasota resident was given the chance to play a point with three of the best tennis players in the world---and he left quite an impression.

During a fast exchange at the net with world #1 Novak Djokovich, Collins hit the ball behind his back and over Djokovich's head. Djokovich ran back to the baseline but couldn't get there in time.

Collins was playing with world #3 Andy Murray against Djokovich and former world #1 Ana Ivanovic. The event was held at the Key Biscayne Ritz Carlton adjacent to the Sony Open in Crandon Park. Collins was attending as a travel writer for Totally Tennis and Family Beautiful magazines.

Collins owns the Sarasota-based media company RayCollinsMedia.com. He's a former anchor for Fox 13 News Tampa Bay. He plays tennis locally at Bath & Racquet.
