This serving performance from Nole is just ridiculous. Hoping he can keep it up. Glad to see the painkillers are seemingly doing their job.
 
Alcaraz would just be another Berdych if he faced a 10 year younger Novak . Just a total mismatch in terms of grit and fighting spirit .
 
Kinda confused here. Alcaraz was doing a pretty good job (prior to the injury) of creating points in the first set through movement, placement, and pace. Now, with a Djoko that's not moving well, he's dropped his level significantly and is just hitting the ball down the middle. What's he doing?
imo he stopped moving Novak around and went with Novaks play of hit and miss

Djokovic has significantly upped his MPH on BH and FH as the charts showed during 2nd set, he is hitting harder than Alcaraz did at any point in the match so Alcaraz can't really do what he did.
 
Have to love couch potatoes who don't even go to the gym questioning a nearly 38 year old's physical state. The fact that he can play this physical at this stage of his career and not hurt something in every other match is a miracle.
 
Also I will never believe a Novak injury timeout again in my life. I’m done with this man.

Novak can have a bone sticking out and I won’t believe it. This is beyond the boy who cried wolf. Just ridiculously stupid now. Utter joke.
You don’t think he has an injury? It might be a strain that he can run out, but it still looks like he is feeling sonething imo. The indication to me is that he is wincing but also there are balls he is leaving that he would always normally try to chase down.

I see what you're saying, but that's not what appears to be happening. I don't see alcaraz struggling with djokos pace

But he didn’t? He’s fine babe? Since then he’s won a set and holding serve in set 3 and favourite to win this match.

He’s the boy who cried wolf. And he did it while Alcaraz served for the set too. YUCK.
 
Incredible to think Djokovic is actually ahead in this match, even if it is by a single game in the third.

And he lost the set in that game without winning a point so why tf are you crying?

I don’t care anymore with this man. I thought so but seeing how he played that set, no. Until he retires from this match with an injury will I believe he had an injury. Otherwise it’s just tactical MTO’s like his entire career.
 
Yeah well I was labelled a Novak hater for so long I always tried to give him benefit of the doubt with injuries cause you’re kinda an a**hole doubting an injury. But now I’m truly done with this man.

It’s a joke.

I'm shocked it took you this long. I think the time I accepted he did it on purpose was #eyegate and then there was the elbow one shortly after, I gave up believing it sometime around then.

Honestly though, I'm here for the fact it keeps working. It's hilarious!

Alcaraz gameplay is not there. He should make this a physical match. Instead of going with Novaks point and shoot. He is rattled

I tried to be nice since everyone said I was his number #1 hater here. But yeah I don’t believe any of it anymore. Boy who cried wolf, he could play the lead role.
