That is shocking from Novak on Bp. So uncharacteristic.

So close 
Cheeky by Carlos.
Wow great challenge
Yet another brain dead shot. Come on man ffs.
What the feck is Carlos doing? No need to let nerves get the best of him.
That's an awful shot to attempt there. Could cost him the match...Djokovic is starting to come back into it.
Novak breaks. Looking like a 5 setter...
Really? Novak holds the French & Australian and he's in the final at Wimbledon. Hardly time to call and end to his career.
I put in a cheeky bet on Novak to win this game at 6.5/1 when Carlos went 15-0 up. Worked out well
Always does..
Can't stand Djokovic.
He'll probably still win this. This is where experience will matter.
People just don't learn. So many saying Djoko looks done early in the 4th. The man is never done. He may still lose this but he's never done early in the 4th set of a Slam match.
Djokovic is at an incredible level right now.
Goran standing for the first time in 4 hours!
Well what he is doing today is pretty amazing.
Never heard 'it' being called Goran before..
If that split happened to me, I'd probably be in the ICU
Great match
Hey, an ace!
Definitely
No idea how I still fall for itI refuse to go down this path anymore with Novak.
I'd probably would have pulled a Mascherano there.
Novak is so aggressive right now and doing it well. When he's playing close to his best, he's just a completely superior player.
Feels a bit like Fed Nadal first Wimbledon final
I stopped falling for it around 5-6 years ago I believe. The man is a robot. He can't be beaten in these situations.No idea how I still fall for it
Feel more like the 07 one to me than the 06 tbh. Nadal had his chances, as has Carlos today. Especially early in this set at 1-0.
Wouldn't bother you if you just watched for the Tennis instead of wanting Novak to lose of course.
Well, this is going to be a great final set.
Man, Carlos has been shooting himself in the foot since the 3rd set ended.
Feck off Djokovic.
Alcaraz completely given up control of the match.
Djokovic just has so much freedom to dictate.
Djokovic just has so much freedom to dictate.
Exactly my feelings.Nah, he's riding high on his juice now. Alcaraz can't rely on his serve so much, but when/if that ever comes... he's gonna be a brutal player. I mean he already is, but he takes this set if he had a strong serve for instance.
Yeah, I tend to never fall for it anymore, but Carlos just looked too good at the start of the 4th. Untill he lost focus for like 30 seconds.
Feels like Alcaraz has run out of gas now. He ran too hard at the start of the 4th and then lost focus on the important game on his own serve
Carlos is going to get weird criticisms should he lose this, despite the fact he would of overachieved to what every single one of those critical voices expected of him. Not sure I'm ready for the brutal toxicity that is the Tennis fanbase.... so fecking do it brother, save me from that!
Even if Novak went a break down, I'd still expect him to win. I also still have mental scars from Nadal vs Djokovic at AO 12 and the semi final at Wimbledon.
