Wilander "Alcaraz has the best forehand of all time"

[RG GOD]

"He has the best forehand of all timeme," he assured to Eurosport. "He has a lot of options: he can go inside-out, inside-out, drop and also both ways. And he can do it like Rafa Nadal does. You have to stay away from his forehand or you will have a very long day"

Wilander asegura que 'Alcaraz tiene la mejor derecha de todos los tiempos'

Tras la victoria de Carlos Alcaraz ante Miomir Kecmanovic en Australia en un partido en el que desplegó un tenis inmaculado, afiló bien esa derecha tan prodi...

Wilander is an ATG with great knowledge so we have to trust him.

 

[nolefam_2024]

He is great forehand. Top 5 of current time.
Of all time and wording like this are just to cause controversy. Mats

 

[Sport]

Federer possesses the best rolex of all time though.

 

[junior74]

Wilander is actually worse than Kyrgios when it comes to attention seeking

 

[FeroBango]

Engagement baiting from Wilander.

 

[FeroBango]

Tennis media is hysterical. Either he is overrated and washed or is the God himself after one superlative display.

That is a logical fallacy (wrong argument) known as argument from authority, which consists in asserting that something is true only because an authority on a topic said it.

Authorities' opinions must be heard and pondered, but authorities can be wrong like everyone else.

I love Alcaraz but at the moment i disagree, depending on the conditions and oponents his forehand can be dismantled, yes when he is inside the court he can blast winners easily, but when moving there are some spots where he isnt as consistent as other forehands in this conversation, still for his age It could end Up as the best.

Indeed. His has the potential to be in that conversation but for now this is just fuel for those looking to dump on the kid.

 

[NoleFam]

Haha. You can always count on Wilander to go extreme and over the top.

 

[The Blond Blur]

This is why we can’t just take former or current players at their word at face value. Saying insert ex/current player said X therefore it must be the true is the lowest form of analysis.

 

[RacquetAbuse101]

Game, Set and STFU, Mats.

Please.

His job, as has already been said repeatedly, is to "sell" that what is current is much better than the past and attract the largest possible audience to generate revenue for his sport news network each year.
Wilander does his job very well.

 

[Dwell]

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

He will say someone else does next week! Lol

 

[MichaelNadal]

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I’m actually worried about Carlos Alcaraz FH for rest of tournament now! Matts and his black magic knows no bounds!

It's too much. Every time he opens his mouth, he has to say something sensational. Yikes.

You would do the same if your salary depends on it; don't lie.

 

[Kralingen]

I need Wilander's dealer's number RIGHT NOW. This guy has some absolutely next level stuff.

 

[Zardoz7/12]

I'm really not a fan of Wilander and his hyperbolic statements.

The guy looks like he grinds Viagra up into his milkshakes.

 

[NoleFam]

 

[DSH]

I need Mats' dealer's number RIGHT NOW. This guy has some absolutely next level stuff.

'Kiddie Coke' is not available for now.

Everyone on TT is willing to troll for free. Mats get paid for it, so he should perhaps stick with more factual stuff? Just a thought

 

[ibbi]

Dumbasses on this forum have wanted to GREATEST OF ALL TIME everything that happens in front of them for years and years. Why should Mats not be allowed to have the same fun?

 

[BauerAlmeida]

Federer, Nadal, Sampras, del Potro and González have better forehands.

 

[mental midget]

he can literally do everything federer could, a little less well. clearly the greatest.

Will he be the one to be Australian Open champion this week?

 

[NoleFam]

Federer, Nadal, Sampras, del Potro and González have better forehands.

I would say the list is longer than that. He hasn't completely developed as a player yet and his is far off from one of the best ones we've seen.

 

[mental midget]

Will he be the one to be Australian Open champion this week?

novak and sinner getting most of the hype, and with their recent quality of play, deservedly so...but i think some people have forgotten what a great competitor alcaraz can be. great game of course, but on top of that...speed kills, and he's got absolutely world-class wheels/defense. counts for a lot.

 

[ChaelAZ]

He isn't wrong, but...just on Mats switching and flipping over the years, he will probably change that in a few months.

 

[big ted]

dear mats : shouldnt carlitos be winning more if he has "the best forehand of all time?"
i dont even think he has the "best forehand right now" lol

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

This lol.

 

[ALCARAZWON]

Nobody's going to beat Carlos at the AO this year or any other year unless injury takes him down.
He's much more suited to the AO than to Wimbledon... though he'll get better at Wimbledon with experience and win it a lot easier than 2023.

[TheSlicer]

To be honest, the "tsitsipas has better forehand than Federer" was a crazier statement

 

[big ted]

you could say he has the most versatile forehand but not the best forehand

 

[SpinWizard]

Wilander please shut your mouth dude. I can't stand this guy...

 

[Impressario]

Kyrgios is stealing the show on Eurosport so Mats had to comically up the ante

 

[aldeayeah]

Rafa's was better on the bouncy stuff and Fed's on the not very bouncy stuff.

This is a Blond Blur

I was joking.

 

[Hitman]

Nice.

 

[socallefty]

Too bad the greatest FH of all time sprays a bunch of unforced errors not too infrequently. If you watch Alcaraz’s losses, it is usually when his FH is having a bad day and is erratic. That prevents it from being as good as a Big 3 FH, but he has time to get there.

 

[Pheasant]

Wilander has the best player evaluation of all time. He has lots of options. He's versatile. He can talk out his arse, say the unthinkable, or simply conjure things up out of thin air. He can do it like Kyrgios does. You have to stay away from Wilander's evaluations, or you will have a very long day.

 

[Vincent-C]

I think he's not even listening to himself much of the time. Mats has found his niche.

 

[kevin qmto]

Why do people keep putting a mic in front of Mats? All he says is nonsense.
