Carlos, Carlos, 2 suicidal runs to the net when he was in control of the point, nervous tactics.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
Novak will win this next point.
See, I'm great at things.
He's got to improve his approach play
Carlos' mental strength in big moments is one thing I'm definitely a big fan of. Most of the Next Gen would have collapsed at 3-0.
Suicidal approach play
Looked caught in two minds too
Set point!
Doesn't exactly bode well for the next few years. Definitely need a few more to come through.
Get in
Wow, what a way to win the set! Cracking 2nd set.
Lifted the fecking roof off!!
Novak really gave that away jeez
Good man!
Feck me! Can't. believe Alcaraz won that tie break!
Nicely done. He’s got some bottle has Alcaraz
What a return! Come onn Carlos!
What a match we have
Here we go! It's a brand new final.
We have a match at least!
Some strange errors from Djokovic
Some strange errors from Djokovic
Get in lad
Djokovic blew that tie break. A couple of unforced errors that he wasn't even trying to hit a winner with.
Still see Novak winning but at least we get a proper match. It's the finals we want more tennis!
We've got a game now
Come ooooon!
Novak finally loses a tiebreak!
Game on.
Game on.
Match needed that, to state the bleeding obvious. Still think Djokovic will win, probably in 4, but it’ll keep him honest at least.
Won it.
Weird though, watching Djokovic this tournament I don't think he is quite what he was but he has generally been so steady at the important point of sets, allowed others to make mistakes, odd to see him falter at that. Alcaraz deserved that.
A contest. Fair play following that dogshite first set.
So unusual for Novak. Dare I say it, maybe he got nervous?
Djokovic choking a tie break, never thought I'd ever see that!
Alcaraz literally outplayed him in the tie break.... stuff this "Novak blew it" shit. Alcaraz should of won it sooner.
4 sets let's go!
I don't think he got nervous tbh. His serving has been rather poor all set.
Some set that
deserved 1-1. Alcaraz forgot the first set entirely. Djokovic struggling in every service game and doesn't seem capable of winning any big rally unless Alcaraz makes an error. like I've said before match, he's nothing like other finalists.
If Alcaraz constructs his points better, he'll be able to take this match from Djokovic.
Just needs more measure and depth before going big on his shots.

Come on Carlos that's a shit shot
