2025 Indian wells ATP master's 1000 R32 - (2) Carlos Alcaraz Garfia [SPN] v/s (27) Denis Shapovalov [CAN]

IW is also the worst court to play against Alca.

Kinda feel like Wimbledon centre court would be the worst place. He was known as a clay courter and then went 2-0 in Wimbledon Finals vs the consensus GOAT who could end up with 10 trophies there.

But I see the point, it's one of the places that suits him most

On grass, he can be rushed & exposed by a zoning big hitter.

Can be, but we really haven't seen it

Well, ANY player can theoretically be rushed and overwhelmed by a zoning big hitter on grass (or anywhere else really). The difference is Alcaraz has more tools to deal with that and make it less likely that such a player magically zones against him.
