I really enjoy the way Alcaraz employs the slice. I think at times there has been a perception that slicing off the backhand is obsolete or less relevant because two-handers can improvise a topspin backhand much more easily than a one-hander could - but the point is that a topspin drive is not always the best answer.

Like your demonstration with the grip - looks like a Gaudio/Guga backhand grip!

Great read as always.

Briefly what were your thoughts on what Alcaraz did against Sinner in the semi? And do you think those tactical changes will be enough against Sinner on a hard court surface that might not suit him as well?
