Alcaraz has tremendous foot speed, great racquet head acceleration, and an aggressive backhand slice. But it’s his mindset that makes him a cut above his peers.
All that distraction failed to throw Alcaraz off course as he became the youngest man since Boris Becker in 1986 to win the Challenge Cup after Djokovic scooped a forehand into the net.
Novak Djokovic, who had suffered only two Wimbledon defeats, said he was surprised at how quickly the 20-year-old Alcaraz had mastered playing on all the sport's surfaces.
A poor Muslim man from Kurnool, selling khoya buns during the Medaram Jatara in Telangana, was harassed by some YouTubers and surrounded by a mob over allegations of 'food jihad'.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
