That 30-30 point was so massive.

First tough service game for him.

A break here would be nice.

edit: have that.

That forehand is a joke

I keep wanting to see "forehand" as something else! Lol

So that backhand

marc2003 · Sunday at 15:39

Not the best drop shot ever.

Probably about time to stop coming to the net on his forehand, Novak

Alcaraz so athletic, reminds me of me at that age.

Novak showing his age too

Yeah he looks tired.

Trying to shorten points to this extent just isn't working for Djokovic. Alcaraz is too good of a mover for that - you'd need to be hitting absolutely huge approach shots every time or you just get passed constantly.

I also don't get why he's trying to out drop Alcaraz. Alcaraz is lightning, and if he gets to a drop shot he'll probably win the point. That's two drops and two stop volleys he's lost points on now

CaptainRAVE · Sunday at 15:51

Alcaraz just has so many shots at his disposal.

Looks like Alcaraz has got this. Can Djokovic win 3 consecutive sets against Alcaraz? I know it's Djokovic but even so, I can't see it happening.

Come back now perhaps?

Yeah, pretty low percentage against anyone. Against Alcaraz it's basically giving the point away even on grass...

It'll be interesting if he changes things up now and tries to play his normal more grindy game. Although presumably if he thought his knee could handle it he would have from the start.

Two massive misses there. Alcaraz has been better, but Djokovic has made so many unforced errors at big moments

It's very unlike him too.
