    LOL at Djokovic post match speech referencing 2019 Wimbledon against Federer. But seriously, as much as hate as he gets, he was really gracious in defeat. “Maybe I won some matches I should’ve lost. So Even Stevens.” His way of saying you win some, you lose some. And giving a lot of credit to Alcaraz and his team.

    And now Alcaraz praising Djokovic. “36 is the new 26.” What a match.

      I was like OH NO YOU DIDNT - but then he said those are some matches he felt he didn’t deserve to win - acceptable haha

    Absolutely magnificent match. Might be the absolute best I’ve watched ever. Those 13 deuces were incredible.

        I think this match should have the Alcaraz doubters changing their minds a bit. Took it to 5 sets against Djokovic and winning. I like Alcaraz but I was expecting Djokovic to win because of his crazy focus in winning, champion mentality even when people are booing him.

    A few weeks ago pundits were almost writing off Alcaraz for not managing cramps better

    He’s just 20! And he is already winning big!

    He beat an in-form Djokovic who defeated him only a few weeks ago

      While beating Medvedev, Rune and Berrettini on the way, not an easy draw at all. I feel like between him, Rune and Sinner we’re in for some incredible years of tennis in this decade.
