And he hit one again like two plays later, saying "sorry, I can't help it." LOL. Drop shots IMO work best with heavy hitters like Carlos, Sinner, Fils, Draper, etc. because they can hit a forehand that pushes you off the court and then, when you're in a defensive position, hit a drop shot that forces you not only forward, but also cross court. Good luck unless you have the speed of Alcaraz or de Minaur.
