Carlos Alcaraz beat Maran Cilic in straight sets in the round of 16 at the Cincinnati Masters. During his 7-6(7/4), 6-1 win over Cilic, the young Spaniard hit a brilliant drop shot.
In fact, the shot was so good, it looked like he himself was amazed that he pulled it off. Running to the net to return a shot that was dropping on him, Alcaraz just about managed to slice across to get the ball to go back over the net and land just inside the line.
A shot *so* good, even @carlosalcaraz couldn't believe it #CincyTennis pic.twitter.com/7vfM1HqQqr The drop shot is a weapon that Alcaraz likes to use, and he has displayed it in his short career.
Insert details from his Quarter-final match vs Cameron Norrie Promoted The Cincinnati Masters is a preparatory tournament before the US Open, where he will be looking to impress.
