This year's ATP choice for top shot-maker of the year was actually a slam dunk. Dustin Brown has spent most of his career playing lower-level tournaments, but with his ranking rising and more challenger events being shown online, his eye-popping winners can be seen on a regular basis.

The only hard part in picking the Jamaican-born German as the season's top shot-maker was deciding which of his stunning plays to choose from. Here's but a small sample:

It's a bird, it's a ... nope, it's just Dustin Brown diving for a volley at the Manchester challenger.

He had time to hit a few more spectacular winners on his way to the Manchester title, also coming up with this tweener lob.

It was so nice, he did it twice. Brown also pulled off the shot against Steve Johnson in Memphis, creating a social media sensation.

Sometimes Brown doesn't even need to look. Case in point: this brilliant behind-the-back shot at the Bergamo challenger.

On the women's side, Agnieszka Radwanska has had this category sewn up for a long time. This season, once again, she showed why, hands down, she has the best hands on the WTA tour.

The only news might be that there's now a little more competition, with Simona Halep and a couple of other players also starting to feature regularly in the highlight reel. At the moment, though, Radwanska is still the undisputed champion. Here's a look at some of her more exquisite improvisations.

Radwanska should consider trademarking her famous "squat shot," which is followed by a lob and a stab volley against Roberta Vinci at Doha that's special even for her.

This superb rally against Monica Niculescu won Radwanska the WTA shot of the year, and what came before is almost as good as the round-the-net stretch forehand winner that finally got her the point.
