Djokovic hitting his spots well and holds for 3-0.

Alcaraz won't be worried yet though. As long as he doesn't give up another break, he will have a chance to break back for sure.

Novak has a break this set, now channeling his inner Sampras
Good change of tactic considering his movement is sub-par

Alcaraz relaxed too much after that first set, you can tell hes an emotional player, went quite nervous into the court, then the adrenaline rush made him play incredible, after winning the first he was all smiles and chilling, come on, stay tough man

Nice job by Alcaraz, outburst at the umpire seemed to throw Djokovic off. Got to respond to gamesmanship with gamesmanship.

Is this a new move at the Aus Open where the chair umpire has to call the let and it not be automated?

I never remember this being an issue and it’s happened 3 times today alone. In a mixed doubles match, in the Zverev match earlier and now this match.

Commentators even keep saying it’s silly and that most tournaments have it automated but Aus Open does not??

There has not been automatic let calls at Grand Slams since last French Open (as per Zverev's post match interview)

Djokovic has to be due some luck at some point. The closest he has come to a sniff of luck was Queen Eva making a late (but correct) call that pixxed of Carlitos.

The NOLEFAM shirt fans are amazing, have they ever done this before lol? Would have been an amazing feature at Djokovic matches over the years
