This match and the potential it has is why I have no problem with MTOs. Let Novak and Carlitos get any medical attention they might need to keep this show on the road.

It does look like Novak might have tweaked something. Really hoping there is no stupidity or clockwatching if either player needs help over rhe next 5 hours.

Djokovic buying time to see the replay.

He’s squinting in pain.

Another break point for Carlos with a gorgeous winner.

Djokovic getting horrible luck with net chords and missed lines at literally the worst moments possible right now. Surely the luck will change at some point.

16 years of watching the guy. Be rest assured that when Novak acts injured, he will pull off his greatest escapes.

That USO final with Med still hurts so much.

I thought he might wait until the set break to call the trainer, but I get it.

Still sucks to be Carlos and have this delay before trying to serve it out.

Impressed with Alcaraz so far. He's raised his level and is firing on most of his cylinders at this point in the match.

Agree with @Subway Tennis that MTOs can be necessary for instances like this, and we all want to see players compete at their best. However, the waiting player should be able to take serves or even groundstrokes with a hitting partner as to not get cold or be disadvantaged.
