Carlos, that’s absurd. Djokovic pings it into the top-left nook and that is a winner towards most tennis gamers. But, once more, Alcaraz is just not most tennis gamers.
A genuinely otherworldly passing forehand down the road from effectively outdoors the court docket. Shot of the match? And once more! He sends a completely snorting backhand down the road for 0-30 and a sniff of a break.
15-30, although, as Novak responds to a great drop shot with an incredible one. Alcaraz will get there, after all he does, however even he cannot get it again over. Ace for 30-all, cussed response from the Serb.
But, maybe realizing how good his drop photographs must be to greatest Carlos, Novak goes a bit of brief, a bit of underdone, into the online. 30-40, break level, however deuce! More prefer it from Djokovic, who involves the online and booms away an overhand smash with aplomb.
Advantage Alcaraz, who returns a great serve effectively, then as Novak places him into the nook and involves the online, Alcaraz whips a fruity forehand winner past him. An impressive passing shot. He pumps his fist in celebration and whips the group up too, for good measure.
But we’re again at second deuce, after which an ace. Advantage Novak…
