Yup, Novak is definitely in this now.

I’ve thought that for a long time, but he keeps getting closer to 40. At some point something’s got to give.
Some rather strange approaches from Carlos.
Djokovic is back in this. He does need to take advantage though.
Very significant game. Alcaraz has absolutely bossed this but a set back for Djokovic will open it up completely given the different in big match experience.
If he can stay fit, I think he'll be there or there abouts for another year or two. It's conceivable that he'll never win another slam but I think he'll find himself with opportunities by going deep.
Djokovic serving much better now. I think he might take this set if Alcaraz has to serve to stay in it at 4-5.
Much easier holds for Novak now.
Novak needs to hold here.
Wow
Carlos just baited him into a false sense of security it seems, that forehand was fecking filthy.
That was simply Alvarez deciding it's time to break. Just turned the dial up and that was it.
Looks like the Alcaraz mini-lull is over.
My prediction wasn't that far off. 2hrs 10m?
Oh my god... at every winner in that break.
He said, enough is enough, time to go home. Spain are playing later.
Wonder if Joker will recover from this match.
Hopefully not.
Djokovic done.
Incredible tennis from Alcaraz
I’ve been to figure out why Carlos coach looks so familiar until I realized he’s Juan Carlos Ferrero. He was a clay court beast for a couple of seasons in the early 2000s.
Yup! He wants to get ready - get a couple beers inVamos!
That's that.
Fed at 37 would've given Carlos a much better run for his money, ergo: RF = GOAT.

Double fault
There has never been anything like Carlos Alcaraz. Maybe he never reaches the heights of the big 3 - but he's flawless. If you built the perfect player in a lab, that player would not be as good as Alcaraz
Wants to end it on an Ace imo
Wants to end it on an Ace imo
I’d go along with that, with the proviso it’ll be harder and harder to keep fit.
Oh dear...bit of nerves
Who screamed?!
Yeah
Calros has gotten tight and how.
FFS my prediction is on the line here Carlos
What on earth is Carlos doing?
Bottled it
Wow
A choke there from Alcaraz
Ffs
Crikey.
Ouch, what the hell
Oh-ho! The plot thickens
