We're Only 2 Weeks In, But Carlos Alcaraz Hit The Nastiest Snipe We'll See All Year At The Australian Open
So first of all, the placement on this shot is just silly to begin with.
Someone once hired Carlos Alcaraz to paint their house. They came back a few hours and this sick freak strictly painted the corners. It may not have been as perfectly tucked away in that corner as humanly possible, but when you factor in that he went around the post and between the umpire's chair? That is just nasty work from a nasty man.
He probably had a 6 inch window to fit that ball through to where it would get around the post, in front of the umpire's chair, and still land in. An inch or so off in any direction and he's cooked on that point. But he just steps up and hits a perfect shot, and then stares it down with a sexy little back strut. The only thing that sucked about that point is that it's January 18th and we've already used up our Snipe of the Year. We still have to go through 348 more days of nothing topping that.
This kid, man. Jacked, handsome, rich, a 2x Grand Slam champion at the age of 20, and casually hitting ATP's like it's nothing.
Some guys have it all.
