Paris Olympics Final – Spain [Carlos Alcaraz] vs. Serbia [Novak Djokovic]

[MeatTornado]

These returns are just painful to watch

 

[The Devil probably]

Amazing. Idemo!

 

[The_Order]

FIRST SET DJOK!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko gets it!! Yesssss yesss!

 

[PSNELKE]

This **** looks rigged by Alcaraz. There's no way he's this stupid

 

[NeutralFan]

Well you deserve to lose set if you can't convert 10 bps on a freaking clay

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Let’s see if he has any mental fortitude

 

[RS]

We talk about slam count distortions so here’s one: I would be disappointed if Alcaraz won 4 or 5 more RGs than Djoker purely because Raz never had to deal with Nadal. Based on what we’ve seen so far there isn’t much of a gap between pre-peak Raz and postprime Old Djoker at all

All these arguments over the next few to 10 years could form a big 3 fanbase alliance

 

[KingCarlitos]

I'm at a loss for word tbh

 

[mike danny]

Bad tiebreak from Carlos as expected.

 

[Open Stance]

Novak is coming up with answers. Great set!!

 

[SonicNirvana]

Awful ****ing drop shot.

 

[TripleATeam]

TAKO JE BRATE!

 

[jl809]

Halfway there for the Old King

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

Tiny Carlitos bros…I don’t feel so good…

 

[The Guru]

God don’t give me hope Novak

 

[RF-18]

FIRST SET DJOKOVICCCC

 

[I Am Finnish]

More than 1.5 h lolz

 

[ACE of Hearts]

That was pitiful by the kid.

 

[Bubcay]

Let's goooooo...

 

[mahatma]

Best set of tennis of the year and what a show, as promised by Djokovic!

 

[GRASScaraz]

Disgusting injury faking lucky player

 

[SeeingDusk]

Nole takes the first set 7-6

 

[Juice4080]

Novak is in this match with smoke and mirrors. The ultimate escape artist. Unbelievable

 

[ojo rojo]

What an awesome set of tennis

 

[The_Order]

Djokovic steals the first set.

Incredible scenes. How did Alcaraz lose this set?

Blew too many chances, tried to get too cute at times too.

 

[Incognito]

His passing shots are not that good.

He has an open court lol

 

[Cortana]

Is this the Federer Wimbledon 2019 match for Djokovic where he could cement his status as GOAT?

 

[JadeC]

Tiebreakovic takes the first set!

 

[JJGUY]

yeah just like that,1st set taken!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Now we will see if Alcaraz can step it up

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

TTW in ruins lol. Djokovic is willing to leave a leg on the court to win this, this is the most important match remaining in his career, I've not seen that much fight from him in a long time.

 

[Thundergod]

Wow

 

[MeatTornado]

Pathetic final point. His drop shots are usually aggressive, but that was a bail out, then he just went for a yolo FH that he knew would end the point either way.

 

[StefanV]

I love you Noleee

 

[scotus]

Novak takes the first set!!!!!

 

[TripleATeam]

Disgusting injury faking lucky player

Cope and seethe

 

[junior74]

Djokovic steals the first set.

Incredible scenes. How did Alcaraz lose this set?

Because he is careless and loses a lot of sets he should have won, just like Fred.

 

[chjtennis]

Great performance by Djokovic to win the first set.

 

[L4S10s]

Bathroomovic enters the chat

 

[TheGoldenEra1990’s]

LOL Carlos you gonna give a 50 year old his first gold medal?

 

[djokovic the conqueror]

1 more set for the gold medal. Idemo!

 

[JohnnyMac Fan!]

The clay is absorbing Alcaraz serve

 

[WarriorRafa]

Alcaraz better on grass, Djoko better on clay. HC I think should favor Djoko as well especially slower ones.

 

[Jonas78]

Djoker takes it, still riding at 37

 

[NeutralFan]

Djokovic showed what patience and a brain does to you. He made two winners and let Carlos goes for big and unforced errors

 

[Sephiroth]

Yeah, Djokovic felt like the better player this set.

I think Alcaraz will come out with a 6-2, second set. Djokovic will take a dip after this mammoth set.

 

[bezs]

Quite a first set.

 

[Devil_dog]

Djoker with a hella good tiebreaker.

 

[TennisFan3]

This could destroy Carlos mentally. Just an overall poor performance from him.
The Wimbledon final looks more like an exception rather than the norm.
