Carlos Alcaraz Plays First Match In China! 🔥 | Beijing 2023

THERE ISNT AN INCH OF THE COURT THIS YOUNG MAN CANNOT FIND. Or is uncomfortable in. I used to think Fed made footwork and balance look so easy Fed may have floated but this kid is levitating. You hear no sqeaks and you know those feet are working hard. He’s a monster. He’s playing in second or third gear 90% of the time. Has no panick when he needs tp upshift either.

1:39 that forehand 🔥🔥🔥

carlos still a little scrappy but showing his range of shots, incredible lobs, and that rocket of a forehand. hopefully throughout he can clean up his UE , but also so many break opportunities that he didn’t capitalise on 😩 still ofc he managed to break back multiple times, but doubt future opponents will let that slide. anyway onto musetti next 🍿

My warmest welcome to Alcaraz !

My DREAM CARLITOS💕, You did EVERYTHING PERFECT again👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾‼️ KARIN ❤️

Expectedly, Alcaraz won in straight sets 6-4 6-3. Hanfmann’s tennis just wasn’t as clean & consistent throughout. Double the errors of Alcaraz & he failed to convert at crucial points in both sets. Enough with the drop shots! Yeah, sometimes they work, but in general WAY too many players across Beijing and previously Chengdu & Zhuhai are not being judicious enough. Players are overusing them & it’s costing them important points. Same goes with going over the high part of the net for a winner. It’s a low percentage shot, so be aware of the scoreline & play smarter before risking crucial points.

Volleying is a more solid tactic, but even then players get too cute with it. Defensive shots are not to be used to make a statement. They are there to give you more time. Use a slice if you can’t handle pace, but remember, too many in succession & the ball will become too low even for you. Use a volley if you already know you’re moving forward & your opponent is trying to catch you out, but remember it’s really easy to go wide. Drop shots mid to late rally without proper time for disguise are a recipe for disaster because of poorer control. Too little pace & it dies in the net. Too much pace from an intense rally & it sits up too high giving your opponent time to track it down. Know when to play through the point. If you try to bail out or try a glory shot, tennis will make you pay.

#Vamos gotta get better but I believe he will #7 #13 #5 coming very soon 🙏

This channel is called ‘Tennis TV’ right? Cuz this looks more like ‘Alcaraz TV’ because not one winning point from Hanfmamn was shown. Not one.
I’m a solid fan of Alcaraz as obviously you are too. But there are other tennis stories that still need to be told.

We get that this roid youngster is pushed by Tennis TV as hard as possible, but there are a lot of other matches also that you should post. At least pretend that this tournament is competitive and let us enjoy highlights of his rivals.

Was hoping for a new outfit.
