You could tell he's just completely stiffened up there

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
Seemed quite flawed in that last set!
After that break game, all he had to do was get a serve in
Wow. Bad time to bottle it now.

Bricking it.
He’ll break here
If Djokovic wins this set ffs
Novak is going to win this match, isn't he. Carlos is the only young guy who doesn't get nervy and he does this?
Djokovic's set to lose now.
Nah, Carlos wins the tie-break
Novaks experience will come out there
My PTSD from the 2019 final just cropped up
Idiot fan.
The championship jitters really hit Alcaraz there
lets see what his mental fortitude is too bounce back after basically throwing that set away

Djokovic is a mental giant. Arguably the best mentality in a sportsman ever.
Shades of Southgate from Novak here. Never beaten
Utterly brutal, but this is where genuinely elite mentality comes into play.... I don't even know how Alcaraz is winning points right now. I'd be stiff as feck.
Awful fan, but Carlos was just wanting to brutalise first serves for an easy point.
Time for Tiebreakovic?
What a pickup after another fairly odd net approach.
His serve doesn’t seem anything specialThere 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

Misses another sitter.
Bad miss from Alcaraz at the start of the tie break
Poor from Alcaraz. Easy winner there.
What IS that, Carlos?
If this was anyone else, we'd be in the fourth set already, regardless of missing another sitter, Alcaraz is controlling himself well.
Absolutely- even if Joker nicks this set. Carlos will win the next one
Carlos needs to calm down.
Oh dear, Novak
Carlos could really do with finally finding his serve right now.
RUUUUUUUUUDE
Bloody Nora what a drop shot
He’s gotta be going 5p 50p right now.
He's done it!
There it is!
Vamos!
Vamos!
