Jannik Sinner asked Carlos Alcaraz how he managed to execute his dropshots so effectively. The Spaniard replied by saying that he had been practicing the shot since a young age and had invested significant time and effort into perfecting it.

"In this beautiful way? He said, oh… I've been practicing the drop shot since I was seven, eight years old. So has been so much hours on it, that's why," he said.

Daniil Medvedev also inquired about the origins of Alcaraz's aggressive playing style. The Spaniard admitted that while he has always had an aggressive approach, he was thinner in his younger years and struggled to generate power

"Well yeah, when i was young, I try to be as aggressive as I am right now. But I couldn't, honestly. I was a super skinny guy," he said.

Meanwhile, Hubert Hurkacz wanted to understand what the 21-year-old thought about while playing tennis. Alcaraz said that he simply aimed to enjoy the game and make good shots to play at his best.

"Well I'm thinking just to enjoy, I'm thinking about making… Good shoes, drop shots, go to the net, playing great tennis, great shots. That's all I'm thinking when I'm playing tennis," the youngster said in response.

Alcaraz has helped Team Spain reach the 2024 Davis Cup Final 8. Team Spain defeated Czechia and France in their group stages.
