Alcaraz explains how his ability at the net and with drop shots emerged from childhood
Carlos Alcaraz had a friendly chat with the McEnroe brothers on Eurosport, where he was asked about various aspects of great interest. The first of them focused on whether clay is already his favorite surface, something that the Spanish player did not consider not so long ago, saying that he felt better on hard courts, but considering the results, he believes that clay is where he has been feeling most comfortable lately.
Furthermore, he explained that his wide range of technical skills comes from the good work done with him as a child, before beginning with Ferrero, as they made him play with boys several years older than him, which forced him to find alternative solutions to the baseline game since he did not have the necessary strength to beat them. Thus, he developed those skills at the net and the drop shots so evident in his tennis.
