The win the world’s been waiting for!

By Andris Heks - posted Tuesday, 18 July 2023


1 C. Alcaraz Garfia 1 7 6 3 6

2 N. Djokovic 6 6 1 6 4

'What an amazing rolling coaster!'

Obviously, the Djoker rolled over Alcaraz decisively in the first set.

But in the second set Alraraz was pushed to a tiebreaker which he just one.

At this point, the Djoker had little to fear – he could put his second-set loss down to bad luck.

Except, the Djoker, had to note, that in spite of his spectacular first set demolition of Alcaraz, the youngster was able to re-group and even beat him in the second set.

But Djokovic had no idea what was waiting for him in the third set.

The young pretender to his throne on the other side of the net, gave him the shock of his life; one that the Djoker had no answer for: in the third set Alcaraz beat him the same crushing 6:1, to which the Alpha Male, Djoker treated his young rival in the first set.

Now it was 2 : 1 Alcaraz's way.

'But, no worries'.

Djokovic would have been desperate to calm himself and remember: 'I came back so many times from two sets down, surely I can do it again.'
