Carlos Alcaraz beat Maran Cilic in straight sets in the round of 16 at the Cincinnati Masters. During his 7-6(7/4), 6-1 win over Cilic, the young Spaniard hit a brilliant drop shot. In fact, the shot was so good, it looked like he himself was amazed that he pulled it off. Running to the net to return a shot that was dropping on him, Alcaraz just about managed to slice across to get the ball to go back over the net and land just inside the line.

The drop shot is a weapon that Alcaraz likes to use, and he has displayed it in his short career.

The Cincinnati Masters is a preparatory tournament before the US Open, where he will be looking to impress.
In the French Open, Alcaraz made it to the quarter-finals, although he suffered disappointment at Wimbledon, getting knocked out in the Round of 16.
