The Philippe Chatrier greeted standing up, with a solemn ovation, the best point of Roland Garros, the work of Carlos Alcaraz. When 67 minutes of his semifinal against Novak Djokovic were completed, the 'number one' of the ATP connected a pass in an unlikely position.

The point, with 6-4, 1-1 and 15-0 on the scoreboard, summed up the best virtues of the Spaniard. His leg power to reach Novak's volley and his creativity to invent a shot that simply defied the rules of physics.
