Alcaraz is good, but still, Nadal is another level... His serve+first punch is just great. This one-two punch is something that differentiates Big 3 from others. They are just soo good at their service game. And after that they put you on a constant presure at your serve. That's hard to beat, both physicaly and mentaly. In recent years, Federer had not the best backhand or forhand on tour, but had the best one-two punch. Thanks to that he was always secure on his serve. That's huge advantage. You can see this on this practice... afrer his serve Nadal is always hiting the line or coming to the net, while Alcaraz hits hard, but rarely near the line, and never comes to the net.
@andrewmiller3055 Жыл бұрын
Agree. Nadal has been beyond words in terms of depth of his game, arsenal of tennis shots, tennis iq, for so, so, so long. So too the three.
