    Interesting part in the article:

    Speaking with Tages-Anzeiger, Ljubicic observed: "Roger was more efficient. The spectacle was a product of his playing. He wasn't consciously looking for a show. With Alcaraz, I sometimes get the feeling that he just wants to have fun for himself, but also for the audience."

    The Young Fed was notorious for this. When he was about the age Alcatraz
    is now. Decades before Ljubicic. That was what probably fooled Whisper
    too into thinking Fed was a bogan. But Fed cured himself of the habit.

    I didn't see any of Wimbledon. At RG, Alcatraz showed none of what
    Ljubicic says. But he's a kid still. An amazingly mature kid, but a kid.

    But Federer was not trying to copy Federer then :) it was just him
    playing.
