Every time Carlos Alcaraz steps onto the court, something remarkably unique happens. He pulls off outrageous feats that even seasoned tennis observers swear they have never seen before.
Despite struggling in recent months, Alcaraz never fails to deliver the extraordinary. In the final of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells against Daniil Medvedev, a defining moment occurred during the first set.
Facing a perfectly placed lob, Alcaraz initially attempted a backward leap to hit the ball. But realizing the need for a different approach, he swiftly turned, sprinted, and managed to reach the ball just before it touched the court.
With a clever wrist rotation and a decisive swipe, he managed to return the ball using the backside of his strings, a move that defied convention but exemplified his unmatched skill.
