Oh well.

Would have needed to win the first 2 sets to have a chance.

No chance he wins from behind.

Novak's the best returner in history - it's just outrageous

Djokovic taking the **** already with his service time.

Not sure I agree with that - if he goes one down he can come out all guns blazing, and if he levels at 1-1 then it's best of 3 and anything can happen.

I still think Novak will win in 4, but there's a long way to go

It’ll be very interesting to see if the ump has the balls to call him on it if the timer goes down.

Castle has already mentioned it a few times on comms saying he will.

Unreal returning so far, Alcaraz not done a lot wrong.

Alice In Wonderland · 16 Jul 2023 at 14:34

Alcaraz is definitely a winner in the making.

But sadly it looks like Novak is going to win this again.

He may as well go all guns blazing now.

And in fact he's put huge pressure on Novak's serve as well. The difference has been that Novak is mentally ridiculous and takes big points.

Pretty much this. Crazy stuff.

What are you lot on about? He’s missed his first serve on both break points that he’s lost. Then his SF, gave full moment to Novax to gain full adv and take the BP.

He’s basically piled the pressure on himself on the two biggest points on of the match so far on his own serve.

Alice In Wonderland · 16 Jul 2023 at 14:44

I might not like Novak at all but I can't deny he is an absolutely fantastic player.

You don't get into that position unless the returning has been quality previously in the game, though.

Tennis is a sport about pressure. You want to get your opponent to as many big moments as possible in a situation in which they feel uncomfortable. Novak has been destroying Alcaraz's serving, and Alcaraz is now looking tight on big points

I'm already losing interest.

Think I'll start cooking my beef joint.

CaptainRAVE · 16 Jul 2023 at 14:45

Well that was short.

Weird euphemism

Novax's returns are ******* outrageous.

I hadn't even thought of it like that! Lol!

Djokovic just takes too long to serve.
