In a world where we're rarely surprised by stories of players attacking referees, coaches throwing headbutts, curse-filled diatribes, and outright brawls between competitors, I find it refreshing to be surprised by...good sportsmanship.

From USA Today:

In a Hopman Cup match on Tuesday night between American tennis player Jack Sock and Australian veteran Lleyton Hewitt, a ball was called out on a Hewitt serve. Hewitt went to take his second serve, when Sock stopped him and told him to challenge the call.

“That was in if you want to challenge it,” he said.

So what happened next?

I've heard the old axiom, "Winning isn't everything--it's the only thing." Jack Sock sort of proves that you sometimes still win when you lose.
