Great analysis as always. Alcaraz definitely to me looks technique wise a lot like Fed and Nadal. Great point about how Nadal has tweaked his forehand, as you pointed out, elbow a bit lower in order to get his racquet tip upright in preparation, in order to shorten his racquet work to give himself more time. I personally do not think the next gen racquet tip facing forward really adds any racquet head speed, but these Alcaraz Sock Kyrgios Sinner forehands are something.

Alcaraz forehand resembles Federer more than Nadal.

There are definitely things in common between Fed and Alcaraz. This was more of a Spanish champion vs Spanish rising star comparison. Thanks for watching. -Jason Frausto

It dosen't resemble to any of the both cause Alcaraz use an inverted forehand backswing and Nadal either Federer use the tip of the raquet up in their backswing; Alcaraz is more close to Djokovic that use either an inverted raquet backswing in his forehand

Now that you've seen the comparison between the two, who's forehand do you prefer? Do you think Alcaraz will change his forehand technique like Rafa did over the years? -Jason Frausto

It takes a genius to hit like Nadal. Alcaraz's forehand is more replicable for normies. If Alcaraz does not change his forehand technique over the years, he will be out of the game.

@@nickyb12345 I feel that the way nadal hits his forehand, his timing, his stamina and spin is not replicable by anyone. We have not seen baby nadal yet. Alcaraz's forehand has been replicated. kzitem.info/news/bejne/zn-Jk2d5oHp5aKw Big 3 has changed their forehand throughout the years to stay on top of the competition.

I think Alcaraz's forehand could be the greatest forehand we've ever seen in the future but I think at the mo, Rafa gets,the nod with his forehand as it is so devastating. And yes I think Carlos will tweak his forehand over the years so he can get more out of it. Even Feds forehand has changed over the years. The very best always keep improving and that's why they are the best.

Alacraz gets thru the swing faster because his racquet swing weight is like 322. Nadals swing weight is like 370. This means Alcaraz has to swing alot faster to make up for that power.
