@gill.gross: Taylor Fritz was so close to beating Carlos Alcaraz. Here’s my analysis of match point No.2. I don’t think people realize how short that first Alcaraz passing shot landed and how screwed Fritz would have been if he tried to volley… #tennis #atp #alcaraz
none of the great volleyers is ever letting that ball bounce.

He choked. Easy volley winner but no. Let’s give Alcaraz an easy passing shot

If Alcaraz was in Fritz position, it wouldve been a winner 🤷🏾♀️

This is the worst take I’ve ever heard in my life. Fritz in inside the service line when Alcaraz hits that chip, this is a standard close the net situation and he easily can get there while that ball is above the height of the net and put it away. He hesitates because of nerves but this would’ve been a routine volley for Fritz if he had any net presence whatsoever but he’s a ride or die baseliner so he has absolutely no instincts at the net

Look, bottom line is Taylor is a good, smart player & Carlos is a magician & a generational talent.

Agree he def didn’t hit a good backhand. But alcaraz was still far back after that slice. So any decent volley would have worked. Def should have hit a volley

Backhand closer down the line means a higher net and harder shot

What about that last backhand to go as fast as possible but to alcaraz’ body?

Fritz had plenty of time to get in closer and knock that volley off to seal the match.

@nikola: absolutely disagree. this is not some random. fritz’sgot the ability to hit every shot. low drop volley is times better than the backhand

User72737388322 :
I disagree. Him letting it bounce isn’t the biggest issue. It’s where he hits the shot. Towards the middle when he is at the service line and off to the side. He practically gave Carlos the biggest possible space while restricting his own time to recover. It was possibly the worst possible shot selection in that position imo

Yeah but it’s cuz his footwork at net is ass and he’s late. He should been already charging

thank you. plus it would've had to be a sliding volley, which fritz is not good at, given he can't slide on hard court.
