America's Taylor Fritz produced one of the shots of the tournament at Wimbledon on Thursday with an amazing diving volley against Great Britain's Alastair Gray.

Deep into the second set tie break of the pair's second-round match, Gray had hit what he thought was a winner to save set point and began celebrating, wheeling away while pumping his fist.

But Fritz then dived for the ball to win the point and the set, much to Gray's shock and the delight of the crowd.

Watch Fritz's shot here:

World number 14 Fritz went on to win the match 6-3, 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 and book his spot in the third round of Wimbledon for the second year running.

He plays Slovakia's Alex Molcan on Saturday.

Earlier this year, Fritz spoke to Insider about his typical pre-tournament diet, revealing that he eats both Chipotle and McDonald's in the run up to competitions.

"The times where I've been extremely strict with myself, not letting myself have cheat meals, it's just not fun and I hate it," he said.

"I think it's just healthier to just eat some cheat meals here and there. It's really important."
