I think the scary part is it's so difficult to read when he's going to use drop shot, even as a viewer. Imagine a player actually facing him trying to read his drop shot
I was about to say the same thing. I do think out of the better known players, Djokovic and Federer have/had amazing backhand dropshots. Carlos's forehand ds is better than Djokovic's, imo tho.
the secret to Carlos dropshot success is that, besides being so well executed and disguised in itself, he has a MASSIVE forehand that pushes his opponent far from the baseline. And when opponents are mentally and positionally prepared for a massive forehand Carlos gives them a delicate dropshot which is just so difficult to get to.
yeah It's the same strategy as Nick Kyrgios's underhand serve, he has a massive serve, the opponent is always far behind and he takes advantage of this to make a weak serve
His drop shots are ridiculous. No one can even match his consistency and timing. Carlos is a genius tennis player, he mastered every kind of shots at a young age. Most player takes years to master some this great shots but him he’s now the most versatile and feared player in the tour.
I saw some people over at the tennistv comment section complaining about Alcaraz’ dropshots being overused. I’ll only agree when most players stop falling for it 😂
I gonna say he’s got the best drop shot in tennis history so far. I don’t remember anyone that can drop shot that good. Even fast guys don’t try to run it down cause they were completely fooled
Nah! Federer's were untouchable in terms of beauty and finesse. Especially from the bh side! Alcaraz uses it more often though. It's a bigger part of his game than it was for Roger. Mc Enroe's and Rafa's (especially 2013 onwards) are/were artists with the ds as well.

He brutally carves a canape into middle and slices it into equal pieces with a precision of a die....... Drop shots with tantalizing frustration for opponents as they are done at a ripe moment when the opponent is expecting a thunderbolt is Sir Garcia's halmark
Federer was the greatest at drop shots but this guy is something else. I mean Fed had tons of back spin but Carlos drop shot he just delivers it so perfectly over the net and the ball drops dead.
Un drop shot nunca será un golpe "barato" porque requiere gran habilidad y arriesgar mucho ya que su mala ejecución conlleva pérdida de puntos. Más baratos son aquellos golpes en los que, aprovechando la altura del lanzador, se proyectan con fuerza por encima de la red...creo.
@@asmont2863 Sí, pero cuando un jugador hace muchas dejadas, es una manera fácil de ganar puntos. Basta que el rival esté lejos de la red para que no tenga tiempo de llegar. De vez en cuando está bien, pero hace demasiado.

Because he is hitting from fh, fh drop shots are very rare
Unpredictable drop shots 😮. I love watching Carlos' matches. Bravo Carlos Alcaraz 👏👏👏
I was about to say that Carlos only does DS with forehand. Then he also showed he can do it with his backhand. he does have the complete game.

@@vikramoddiraju4040 I have never seen djokovic ever hit a forehand dropshot
@@rafa9541not at all known for ds
These many drop shot winners on hc, omgg, imagine how effective his drop shots will be on clay and grass
Much harder to do on grass with the speed and low trajectory the balls comes at you.
@@savsav5264 well we will see, he dominates the points though 😊
On clay omg yes
@@savsav5264but his drop shot helped him at 0-15 at 5-4 in finals 5th set of grass

This works so well cause Alcaraz has a massive forehand, and disguises it so well
smooth criminal
True 😂
Of course it is beat drop shot on tour.
Alcaraz made drop shots, and it may be idea of his coaching team, as the most important element.

I can’t really explain it, but even as somebody who’s not that into tennis, it’s incredibly satisfying to watch somebody win with drop shots.
Best dropper in tour history? An unequivocal, resounding YES 😚
Best drop shot on Tour?
Best drop shot in history

Too soon to say that, we'll see if he maintains this quality for the next couple of years. Peak nalbandian's dropshots were things of beauty too.

Es como Iniesta pero con una raqueta.
o como Rocco el pistolero...
Carlos gave out a dropshot buffet this IW. What a shot😮
bravo carlos! I love dropshots!
Flawless executed drop shots with a nice setup, wish to learn . . .😅
剛柔並濟，有勇有謀，一場比一場精采!
What a monster
the three in a row at the end were unbelievable
I always thought Andy Murray had the best DS on the tour. Alcaraz’s is equally as good.
Quite better as a matter of fact.
Amazing. Just amazing. Love Carlos. Only downside I gotta listen with the volume off or wayyy down 🤦♂️
even if you are going to approach to the net he will push you deep then give that god damn drop
Federer was the greatest at drop shots but this guy is something else. I mean Fed had tons of back spin but Carlos drop shot he just delivers it so perfectly over the net and the ball drops dead.
the worst part, is that even from the confort of my chair, with top view, i couldnt tell when was the dropshot coming
I miss those really high drop shots Federer use to hit. He took almost all forward movement off the ball the second it hit the court.
That last one is just ridiculous
SCARY
No ?. It is the best
Dayyymmm
when drop shot is....un-chaseable!..
make one for us open
It's simple. He doesn't grunt when he's about to do a drop shot ;)
that would only be useful if he grunted before hitting it...😂
He grunts after hitting the ball, so it's useless unfortunately
Fun video but a bit useless. I want to see all the drop shots, not just the winners.
He can’t win if he only has his drop shot. His forehand is just too good. The better the forehand, the better the drop shot, and vice versa.
Would be a good video if you didnt copy that football channel in both title and miniature
But not with Sinner at Miami Open. He fumbled many times so he lost.
It’s the weakest most cowardice shot in the game
It is strategic, intelligent and wins points.
No & it's actually extremely hard to hit it perfectly from baseline like this when opponents hit with so much power. Try it yourself
I guess by your definition the strongest most manly shot must be throwing your racket at the opponents face?
Go play some tennis before saying such stupid things
It's the dumbest comment in any section we've ever seen in TH-cam
Alcaraz does excessive dropshots, it's a cheap way to win a point. He doesn't need it.
