One of the things I like best about him is that he has such a complete all court game, so he doesn't just hang out on the baseline and he has remarkable touch, especially for someone so young. I remember when Andy Murray was just coming up through the ranks and liked to hit drop shots at really dumb times. He was eventually coached out of it, but Alcaraz has already, at such a young age, figured out all the right times.
