Carlos Alcaraz vs Roger Federer - Top 10 Identical Shots!

[@ro8erthat-209]

From the first time I saw Alcaraz he reminded me much of Roger. His footwork as well. Since Roger retired, Alcaraz has saved tennis for me. But I do really miss Federer 😢

[@victor1978100]

It would be very interesting to see Federer playing against Alcaraz.

[@BOZ_11]

@@victor1978100 Federer is a 42 year old middle-aged man now

[@goyam2981]

Roger in his prime is just so beautiful to watch. I think prime Roger could beat prime Novak. The one-two punch serve and forehand combo especially on game points and match points was kinda missing late in his career.Too bad prime Roger has Rafa as his kryptonite. Roger was beating everyone and then lost easily to Rafa in the finals in so many slams simply because Rafa was hitting all balls to his backhand.

[@sh0001]

@@goyam2981 His one-two punch was rendered ineffective by the slower courts. It’s just sad that he was up against younger baseliners on the surfaces that they feast on the most. It’s ridiculous to see how much RF evolved over the years while staying at the very top echelons of tennis.

[@ZetaCheese]

Carlitos came at the right time, breaking through in the year of roger’s retirement. For fans of roger’s all court attacking tennis, carlitos is a fresh reminder that its still possible in the modern game

[@colethomas903]

Zeta yup

[@justchillin6314]

Alcaraz is like Federer 2.0 and it makes sense since Fed was Alcaraz’s biggest idol when growing up.

[@goyam2981]

Alcaraz is Roger, Rafa, and Novak combined. 😉

[@ikarugaxx3749]

He is still more complete, if you factor serve in?...

[@justchillin6314]

Exactly Alcaraz is like Fed 2.0, and I think deep down Alcaraz wanted to avenge Fed’s lose at 2019 Wimby as Alcaraz kept saying that it was his dream to play Novak in the final, and well, he did it, but wow, I just can’t wait till the U.S Open now, I hope Alcaraz and Novak will face each other in the final again.

[@Bobby.546]

@@justchillin6314alcaraz isn’t even close to being fed 2.0 wth are you saying. Just because he has good touch doesn’t mean he plays like Federer. The reason Federer is one of a kind is the way he moves, he his by far the most graceful tennis player on the court. You can see alcaraz isn’t nearly as elegant as Federer. You can’t just say just because he plays drops shots and serve volley he is fed 2.0

[@devikuSoul]

It's really amazing how seamlessly Carlos broke through, right on the cusp of Roger retiring & Rafa nearing the end of his career. Just when people were afraid of the glaring gap they would leave behind, Carlos arrived to save tennis 😭

[@fmartin09]

Carlos said it himself when he was a kid (the vid is in KZbin.) His favorite player is Federer and this is living proof.

[@pawshands9706]

I see so much of Roger in Carlos. Sure just because Carlos is from Spain, virtually everyone just assumes he'll be another Nadal. Wrong! He isn't another Federer either. He's Carlos Alcaraz 😊

I still miss Federer. No grunting, not too much in terms in celebrating each point either... Just a smooth, well oiled engine doing what he does best! He was the maestro

[@raulescobar7433]

yes indeed

[@spiritusIRATUS]

Federer was Swiss aka ice cold where as Carlos is Spanish. We tend to have more passion in the Mediterranean. The grunting I could do away with but I believe it is encouraged by coaches to help with rhythm and breathing nowadays.

[@angelopulgarin]

But if Alcaraz wouldn't celebrate points and yell "vamos!!" he wouldn't be Spanish and so resilient

[@anshuecon]

Sinner doesn't grunt and celebrate much, but cannot produce the magic that Alcaraz does. Sinner preserves the superficial aspects of Roger- no grunting, fashion-consciousness etc- but Alcaraz preserves the CORE of Roger's greatness, the footwork and sheer inventive genius. I know what I value more- the latter.

[@hobaryiscool4u]

Roger is something else … a planet of his own … another dimension … impossible to replicate

[@yangwarren9954]

Federer was an ancient artist with a sword, Carlos is the Indiana Jones with a gun, Carlos destroyed federer hands down without any doubts.let’s forget about the passé and embrace the future🎉🎉🎉

[@deepakmahajan170]

Alcaraz has always said he based his aggressive game on roger. He can rally like nole and nadal but his main goal is to end point soon with a winner and variety. Straight forehand like roger too but can put huge topspin when needed

[@z1az285]

Exactly 👍🙏

[@colethomas903]

[@Jay-dm4id]

He disrupts the rhythm of his opponent,like Federer used to do, with mix of dropshots and explosice forehands, so opponent is always second guessing

[@lsb9073]

Roger's explosiveness & athleticism was no less amazing. So was his speed. He just did it all without all the histrionic huffing & puffing and grunting like a pig (to quote him).

[@srinitaaigaura]

Carlos plays a lot like Fed on many points, but I saw a side by side comparison of a no look shot on clay that shows the perfection of Federer's movement and technique - it was the same shot but Carlos looked clumsy compared to the sleek precision of the maestro's movements. No one moved better than Federer, man was artistry in motion.

[@mohammedkeshk1927]

Also, Rafa and Novak's fans can make similar videos where Carlos played identical points to Rafa and Navak. Carlos is actually a prodigy. He will dominate for 10 years at latest. He saved our lovely sport as the current generations are disappointing.

They share the same magic of the "unforgettable moments" too it seems. Beautiful work Raz. Thank you

Great video, great edit

[@birhandenktas]

There are lots of similarities for sure and I really fond of Alcaraz playing style. In addition, Alcaraz's fighting spirit is more like Nadal's and Djokovic's, and that's a very good thing actually. But at the end of the day Federer is still the one and only in tennis history. He was so smooth and elegant that you can't compare even his some specific shots with any another player.

[@pedroreinado8112]

Cierto, nadie usa la raqueta como Federer, parece como si jugará a tenis de mesa, cómo si la raqueta fuera una extensión del mismo brazo, como si no llevara nada, pero eso no se aprende, es su forma natural con la que ha crecido en la forma y manera de llevar y dar con la raqueta, puedes comparar a otros jugadores pero él es único, es mi opinión.

How clever this is! Brilliant video! It really looks as if Alcaraz must have been tutored in all these shots. I agree with many others here that he is brash, and I don't like so much grunting and rabble-rousing. But he is only 20 for goodness sake, and, we hope, if he can learn like this he will keep developing his own game so that it looks more as if it all belongs to him and flows better. Like Federer he seems to have so much time to plan his shots.
