The finals began with a difficult and unexpected beginning

Tennis and his hunger have no boundaries. However, he didn’t have his best performance in the final. Djokovic’s first set was a scandalously flawless one, among other reasons. Alcaraz only managed three points in return. ‘Nole,’ (Novak Djokovic) once again protected by his serve and his forehand, prevented Carlos from getting into the match from the start. Nadal reacted to Djokovic perfectly after the Serb won the first game with a resounding score of 6-2. Rafa was amazed Novak’s standard. Carlitos did not enter the final until it was too late.

It didn’t even take long. Alcaraz gained power and speed to his game. He was unstoppable from there. He won the second set 6-2, neutralizing Djokovic’s dangerous shots which had made his life difficult in the first.

Novak’s chances of winning the third set were slimmer, because Carlitos had already taken over. Carlos took over the match at this point. Slightly longer points to wear down Djokovic and a solidity in his serve that prevented ‘Nole’ from breaking his service again for the rest of the final.

6-3 opened the possibility to win the title against Djokovic in the fourth game, even though he was far removed from his version in the first. The Serb fought to the end.
