G.O.A.T.
Lot of hate on Alcaraz. It's quite clear he is not an elite talent on hard surfaces in majors. Having been dismissed at this same stage fairly handily by Zverev last year in a similar scoreline and having been crushed by Medvedev shortly before that in the SF of the US Open. People are more so banking on Djokovic being a pensioner as the only way for Alcaraz to get the victory. Djokovic is the tougher, more resilient player with the ability to change tactics on this surface. There's a reason he's won here 10 times.
Also, I don't think Alcaraz would've beaten Zverev if they had met in the SF. Alcaraz's draw towards the QF had been a complete cake walk. His talent on grass though is a different level. Much tougher to beat Alcaraz there.
