Alex is a normal height and covers the entire court faster than medvedev

[@Rory626]

It also helps when you're 6'6" with an enormous wingspan 😅

It actually doesn't since it makes him slower than he would be if he was 6'0.

​@@TaiAkinzYes, but a tennis court is much smaller, the first 10m are most important and that is not where bolt was fastest.

[@johnlyndontuason5925]

Drop too high.

[@aaarcc]

Exactly

[@iquix6073]

drip too hard

[@adamkoyn792]

Exactly, there's a little too much of a lob on it. Medvedev fed him a topspin-heavy shot and he had a hard time getting the right counter-spin to execute a "proper" drop shot. He usually gets it to glide about a foot high over the net. Carlos hits amazing drop shots but imagine how refined his technique will be in like, 5 years??

[@simonedevignani2460]

And quite long too

[@jcpenny3606]

@@adamkoyn792 Looks like Carlos took a big swooping swipe underneath the ball and that created too much lift. If he had swipe more vertically down and deaden the swing, the trajectory would be lower. Medvedev is very fast and long so he'll still be able to get to most drop shots no matter what.

[@FrickyTennis]

Medvedev returns so DEEP

[@earthwatcher2012]

Pro Tip : you can actually hit a cross court forehand with topspin and make no wailing sound whatsoever

[@vanmyaf9119]

But are you really then playing tennis?

[@antananarywa]

TV should let us switch cameras as we wish.

[@deveshuniyal4166]

Too good!

[@TheFox6840]

Medvedev ruled the exchange, he was consistently aggressive and inside the court, making the Spaniard run around. At some point Alcararaz tried to change the pace with the drop shot, but he was indeed the furthest player from the net: never a good decision.

[@PKVeteran]

Yeah I see he was losing. Better to do something than nothing at all.

[@Nirky]

Medvedev sure had fun trying to track down all those drop shots Alcaraz sent him at 2023 Wimbledon.

[@lardila7639]

Meddy ❤❤❤

[@Mattmerrison]

The drop shot had too much air. More time to run up to the net

[@antoinev9733]

Most of the time to be efficient a dropshot have to be played when the opponent is "under pressure" ( making him go backward) then from in the court the drop shot is fully efficient. Alcaraz was quite far behind the base line ... Medy had time to react and azlca no time to follow on the net and close any angle. L :)

[@seangates900]

The H2H is 2-1 for Carlos, the only time they met on a hard court was in Indian Wells, you can see Toronto (my city) written beyond Dani's baseline, and there are a bunch of people in the stands. What am I missing here?! Practice set! Oh thank God, I was about to blame AI.

They breathe out and it’s for rhythm. In tennis timing is super important and this helps them especially when they’re playing for 3-4 hours
