I don't think looking for long rallies is the correct stat - Alcaraz is a dynamic player with great aggression who wants to make amazing plays... that's not conducive to long points. Maybe looking to see if some of the longest matches at the tournaments he attended included him. He wants to play exciting matches, not long, boring points from the baseline.
Yeah that’s a fair point - have spoken to a couple of other people since writing who’ve raised the same thing. Will keep having a think about how to capture it. Appreciate the feedback!
