Carlos Alcaraz is currently into a final set against Jannik Sinner at the Six Kings Slam in Riyadh after winning the first and it is certainly all action as they both look to win the incredible $6m top prize.
But Alcaraz in particular with some of his excellence seems to want it even more as he fought for his life in the second set. Down 3-1, he threw caution to the wind in an epic rally with Sinner.
As Sinner returned, Alcaraz caught him off guard with a forehand which clocked in at an unstoppable 109mph. A sportscar type forehand from the Roland Garros and Wimbledon champion.
Only really Aryna Sabalenka in the women's game has come close to similar numbers often dwarfing the men. But Alcaraz proved that behind his diminutive frame is a cannon of a forehand.
