Why Alcaraz changed his service motion

Gill Gross responds to your comments after Round 1 of the 2026 Australian Open. First, we'll analyze Ben Shelton's crucial win over Ugo Humbert and Lorenzo Musetti winning ugly in his opener. Questions include: how do TV commentators get assignments, has Jakub Mensik improved his forehand, is Carlos Alcaraz's serve change a mistake, what is the state of Sebastian Korda, who would benefit from a one-serve rule, is Valentin Vacherot a quarterfinal sleeper and more.
