He needed that. Djokovic was going to argue more and go into lockdown mode if it was 3-2 despite being thoroughly outplayed in those 5 games. I still think Djokovic is going to turn it around at some point. I've seen it too often
Turn it around at this point? Lol. He is totally broken. It’s exactly the same as it was when Medvedev beat him in the US Open final.
O legi, you know what novaks capable of. I see this as 50-50 even with it being 2 sets to 1. I expect Djokovic to take an extended break at set and then lockdown
He was much flatter in that match. I'm not sure he was healthy that was at end of a long long year which included olympics. Today he's just not playing great. More like the French open vs Tsitsipas but carlos is a better player so let's hope he can slam the door but I could see this going either way
This just feels different to me. If he comes back from this to win it then they better build him a statue outside center court.
He always leaves or takes an injury timeout when he's losing. Alcaraz must of been out there for 5 minutes despite leaving also. Looks like it's going to work Alcaraz starts off tight
It only took 7 mins. All within the rules. Why are you even bringing this up? It’s irrelevant.
The spirit of your comment was to imply Novak is doing something sneaky and that’s BS. I apologize if that was not your intention.
Gamesmanship for sure. Not against rules. Same thing Nadal or Tsitsipas does.
Match is far from over. Djokovic has already picked it up in this 4th set.
He has picked it up but to me the only difference is that he will lose the set 6-4 instead of 6-1.
Nah Alcaraz is simply playing better, and if he keeps that level then he is likely to win.
