WATCH: Carlos Alcaraz hits one of tennis' greatest shots against Novak Djokovic at French Open

World No 1 Carlos Alcaraz produced the shot of the French Open – and maybe the decade – as he pulled off a swivelling scoop with his back to the net to pass the advancing Novak Djokovic.

At just 20, Alcaraz is already known for his astonishing shot-making creativity, but also for his vulnerability to injury. If he manages to stay fit throughout a long career, he will create a highlight reel like no other player in the history of the game.

This was a variation on the traditional “hot dog”, which is normally hit between your legs with your back to the net as you run back after being lobbed.

Alcaraz took a different route by running alongside the ball, after Djokovic had first drop-shotted him and then chipped the next stroke deftly over his head.
