If only Fed had a younger guy this weak at his pet slamAmazing that Djokovic can do this still at this stage of his career to guys 16 years younger. Lol. Amazing. You can see why he won this 10 times.
This is the 2nd time he fell for it. Seems to never learnI don’t think Alcaraz has mentally recovered from the “injury” at the end of the first set. He thought that his opponent was injured, he was up a set and cruising into the next round.
Coaches need to prepare their players for Djokovic. If he acts injured you know that first he will get super aggressive and then next thing you know he will start running around like a supercharged rabbit.
Pathetic really. Imagine if he played prime Big 3
He doesn't have a mental block. He's just not as good as him. He's 21 years old, for all his gifts he doesn't have anything like the smarts, or the experience in these situations that Djokovic does, who has played more matches like this than Alcaraz has got years on this planet. When you can limit your physical decline the way Djokovic has, you get the most out of that experience. You see the same thing from Monfils right now, who is maybe half the player Djokovic is.Alcaraz has a mental block against Novak.
Probably won't need that many5 more holds for Djok and it's over
Yes.He is 21 years old and holds four slams, and beat Djokovic in two Wimbledon finals.
He is going for a freaking career slam at only 21 years of age.
What exactly is so pathetic? That he is not whooping Djokovic on a court that Djokovic has been the undisputed GOAT on?
Pathetic really. Imagine if he played prime Big 3
Cramping it seems. But there is no MTO for that is it?Alcaraz is injured???
He's not even close to that level on Hard Courts especially. Not nearly good enough even in this era.Pathetic really. Imagine if he played prime Big 3
At this same age at the Australian, Nadal got demolished in straights by Tsonga…Now we can stop these silly comparisons to Nadal...
This Alcaraz guy is really only as successful as he is because of the cesspool era.
He is 38 years old and Carl is 22. We need to stop sugarcoating these guys.He is 21 years old and holds four slams, and beat Djokovic in two Wimbledon finals.
He is going for a freaking career slam at only 21 years of age.

Remember what Kind of players Federer was losing to in this court at 21 year old? Yeah better dont rememberPathetic really. Imagine if he played prime Big 3
Especially the 2nd is eaten aliveThe new and improved Alcaraz serve doesn’t pass the blowtorch test. More work needed.
Djokovic was forced to try the risky tactic of standing closer to the baseline and taking the ball early, and that actually turned out to be the winning formula against Alcaraz. Djokovic is using the heavy topspin of Alcaraz to his advantage now.
This is the 2nd time he fell for it. Seems to never learn
Even worseWell, it's mainly the change Djokovic made to his game plan. I don't think Djokovic would've tried it had he not had thigh problem.
Funny how Raz has a high chance to end up with a negative H2H against Novak when it's all done. Only Sinner is currently tied 4-4, all other top players are trailing
That’s true but that’s the case for most ATGs historically against the Big 3. They were aliens.Pathetic really. Imagine if he played prime Big 3
He never lost to a guy this old once he got goingRemember what Kind of players Federer was losing to in this court at 21 year old? Yeah better dont remember
Cramping? Isn’t it rather cool?Cramping it seems. But there is no MTO for that is it?
Oh, ok, made up coping term, got itCareer Inflation Era

Sinner is the real Djoker Slayer.Funny how Raz has a high chance to end up with a negative H2H against Novak when it's all done. Only Sinner is currently tied 4-4, all other top players are trailing
What do you mean?That’s true but that’s the case for most ATGs historically against the Big 3. They were aliens.
After Cincy, I don’t know how he could fall for that again. (I’m not doubting Djokovic felt something in the moment but clearly it wasn’t very serious.)I don’t think Alcaraz has mentally recovered from the “injury” at the end of the first set. He thought that his opponent was injured, he was up a set and cruising into the next round.

Age doesnt Matter, level of tennis Matters, he never won a slam against this kind of oponent, and he ofen Lost against players whose names i have a hard time rememberingHe never lost to a guy this old once he got going
He kept stretching for those volleys thinking he's Simone Biles.Alcaraz is injured???
Especially the 2nd is eaten alive
Oh, ok, made up coping term, got it
He never lost to a guy this old once he got going
