Alcaraz serving like Djokovic? 👀
If you have that feeling, you’re not wrong. I want to look at it with you and see exactly what Carlos picked up from Novak’s serve.
What’s interesting is that Carlos said very clearly that his team didn’t want him to make a change — so they didn’t work on it. He did it himself. And that matters. Everyone has to evolve. I’ve just changed my own movement a little bit recently because I feel more comfortable.
Most top players are scared to change. They’re afraid of losing something. Champions think differently. They want to progress all the time, and they’re not afraid to evolve.
The change we’re talking about is on the serve. There’s something similar to Novak: Carlos drops the hand and lets the racket head fall at the very beginning of the motion. The goal is simple — create more whip effect ⚡. It makes a lot of sense. Not everyone does it. Many great servers only create that whip at the end.
What I really like is this: Carlos’ game is never static. Technically, it’s always moving, always adapting. And that mindset — being open to change — is very particular to him 🔥.
Do you think this kind of evolution is what separates champions from the rest? 🤔
