Alcaraz Acknowledges the Need to Avoid Flashy Shots in Order to Prevent Catastrophe


Carlos Alcaraz is a tennis enthusiast who exudes joy on the court, but sometimes his exuberance can lead to mistakes if not careful.

Known for his bright smile and love for the game, Alcaraz’s enjoyment of tennis is evident in every match he plays.

While his flashy style of play adds excitement to the game, it can also backfire, especially in crucial moments.

Despite recognizing the need for improvement in this aspect, Alcaraz continues to thrill audiences with his bold shot selections.

During a semi-final match at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships against Daniil Medvedev, Alcaraz’s attempt at a flashy shot resulted in a crucial point loss, but he ultimately secured the victory in four sets.

“Sometimes I have to go for the effective one rather than the other options. Sometimes I do it because I feel so nervous, and it’s the kind of thing that relaxes me. Because I’ve got a smile on my face doing disaster sometimes.”

Alcaraz showed improvement in his approach at Roland Garros, where he clinched a title by focusing on winning rather than flashy plays.

However, he still enjoys showcasing highlight-reel shots, which may pose a challenge, especially in the upcoming final against Novak Djokovic.

Alcaraz’s confidence in pulling off such shots can be both advantageous and risky, as he acknowledges the fine line between success and failure.
