And whereas the last word story of this conflict has but to be advised, we have already got an unimaginable second from the match.

Djokovic received the primary set 6-3, and the 2 are battling for the time being within the second set with Alcaraz main 3-2. But it surely was this level from Alcaraz that, whatever the end result, can be talked about for weeks to return, if not longer:

The athleticism on show right here is unimaginable. You wish to discuss change-of-direction expertise? Right here they’re. Not solely does Alcaraz need to get to the web to return Djokovic’s preliminary lob, for him then to alter course, recuperate, and get to the second shot earlier than ending off the purpose no-look type? And dropping it proper down the road, the place Djokovic couldn’t get to it? Incomprehensible.
