I wonder after Rafa retires how much longer Novak will play. He admitted without Rafa it will take something out of him even though he will win more slams
I think the Spanish kid who played Joker in the semis will give him trouble.
But losing because of leg cramps for a kid that young is strange. He should not have that problem if properly hydrated. Preparation may be lacking.
Alcaraz will have to be at his best to beat Joker.
I think Djoker went through that as well, before he went gluten free.
I remember baby Novak getting spanked by Rod in grueling heat at a GS match. Just don't recall if it was heat exhaustion or cramps. Pretty sure Novak wasn't able to finish that match.
Joker marches on...
Pin cushions gonna be sad

Still relying on witchcraft to discuss tennis.
Sad.
Go booster up

You will feel better if you add a third mask lemming
muh freedom! You know better cultist. You can’t be manipulated out of stupidity, bravo!
mask and little needle nightmares must be difficult.
those pricks you got as a child left a mark.
Giant syringes chase you during the day?
Booster up e protein -clot on up
Yeah that’s exactly what happens moron.
It’s one thing to be a fantastic tennis player and ignorant. It’s another to be just plain stupid.
Please tell the board about the later. It’s all you’ve got.
Oh there’s more
Enlarged hearts and sterilization which is good for us since it’s you. Take another hit like a good little commie.
Yeah, that’s all very common.
Im fertile. Don’t worry gramps.
Sterility would be great for you though.
With all your conquest of females, the world should want you to be sterile, and you would not have to use the sheath anyway.
Big match tomorrow.
This kid is really good. He is super fast, and a much better ball striker than his countryman Rafa. Hits a much flatter more powerful forehand without the giant loop.
But I dont think he has the mental toughness required for a compe ion this big like Djokovic does. Djokovic has been through so much more.
That will be the difference imo.
Gonna put a small bet on Djoker to jinx him, tbh.
The Spaniard is a got darn backboard
Last set of the match and nothing is being said about how much better Djokovic’s is compared to Alvarez.
Djokovic can actually place his serve. The kid is wails at his severs for the most part.
Yet the kid still is in the match. Djokovic is approach shots when he decides to come to net are awful.
it’s entertaining, but definitely not the best tennis thinkingin the world
And lol J. McEnroe knowing how you can hurt your wrist by slamming a racket into the net posts!
Now the real test, serve to win the match for Alcaraz.
One service winner and one serve that leads to a flutter return that is promptly put away. See how it works…
Djokovic can still beat this guy. He is definitely smarter. But this kid is incredibly athletic.
It really do be like that.
What a run by the Joker
Too sloppy from Novak, and elite play Alcaraz.
Damn, hopefully Djokovic comes back with a chip on his shoulder for the US open.
Djokovic looked tired and the foot work was not good at all.
That being said, he had some fantastic placement on his serves on many big points. It would have been worse if he had not been so precise with his location. The kid definitely needs to improve his service placement. At this time Alcaraz is a superior athlete. But Djokovic has been through so many big long tedious books I think he can beat him. Djokovic is still good enough to rely on his experience to win.... the kid is an athlete with great hand eye skills. And the Harlem Globetrotter skills can also be what can beat him... going for great shots instead of the mundane shots that lead to easy put aways next shot.
If the kid just learns to play a bit steadier he is going to be to beat. Especially if he can get that serve right instead of just crushing it. A service winner is as good as an ace. Placement Carlos... Watch the tape.
Djoker always places his serves well, especially when facing break points. It's always been one of his super powers. It was frustrating af to watch when he'd easily save bps against Fed.
Alcaraz grew up mid-match. He dialed it back and played a steadier brand of tennis after that disastrous 1st set. Actually tried to construct points instead of just trying to hit through Djoker. It also helped that Djoker committed some uncharacteristic unforced errors. But that's aging for your.
