@Tennisgeeking And to pull it off under ridiculous pressure, break points, match points against etc! Sound technique, balanced footwork and perfect hand eye coordination.👌

Epic Alcaraz- poetry in motion.😍❤❤

INJECT ITTTTT

[RensSportsBlogTennis🐝 @RensSportsBlog]

@Tennisgeeking Yes. The slow motion really amplifies his technique and also his balance. It's what enables him to pull off all these crazy genius scrambling shots. Amazing.🤩

Alcaraz & Edberg catch up at the #RolexParisMasters!

[RensSportsBlogTennis🐝 @RensSportsBlog]

@TennisTV Ahhhhhhhh my two favourite players - and volleyers - of all time, together!!😍😍❤❤
Ps I love that Edberg loves watching Alcaraz. He's always at his matches. It's the only time he gets to see his own classic, old school style of net rushing and volleying.🙂

Drop volley winner from the baseline 🥶

[RensSportsBlogTennis🐝 @RensSportsBlog]

@GSage710 @harbdouldotdev Indeed. Fritz has no forward momentum there. He would have had to close down the net much quicker to play a volley. Not his game and doesn't have the speed.

[RensSportsBlogTennis🐝 @RensSportsBlog]

@GSage710 @harbdouldotdev Ok, you are clearly not a fan so you don't get it.

[RensSportsBlogTennis🐝 @RensSportsBlog]

@GSage710 @harbdouldotdev He almost loses lots of matches. It's how he rolls. He likes living on the edge. But his ceiling is exceptional, especially under the most intense pressure. That's why he gets the accolades.

[RensSportsBlogTennis🐝 @RensSportsBlog]

@GSage710 @harbdouldotdev Why? Alcaraz makes crazy comebacks playing crazy, genius shots under incredible pressure. How many players can play like that? It's hugely entertaining to watch.

[RensSportsBlogTennis🐝 @RensSportsBlog]

@GSage710 @harbdouldotdev I didn't mean he was injured or physically compromised. More that it might have been psychological avoidance for a very tall player having to bend low having suffered a serious knee injury a few months ago. Just a thought...

[RensSportsBlogTennis🐝 @RensSportsBlog]

@GSage710 @harbdouldotdev I would also add that Fritz is coming back from a knee injury and he might have struggled to bend low for the drop volley, so maybe in the split second instinctively chose the easier option to let the ball bounce first.

[RensSportsBlogTennis🐝 @RensSportsBlog]

@GSage710 @harbdouldotdev Not all balls dip down. It depends on what shot is being played. But the point is Fritz doesn't like being at the net, so under pressure he reverted to the safe option, retreating rather than going forward and volleying, which would've been the correct shot.
