Djokovic dominant so far. He’s just so comfortable on hard court.

Djokovic seems to be struggling in the heat more than Alcaraz, at least for now. I don't doubt that Djokovic will find a way, but the physicality that Carlos plays with is tough to handle, not to mention the wicked spin he puts on every shot.

Match is finally heating up (no pun intended) after a slow start from both.

Djoker will use this to fuel his upcoming US Open title

I went years back with my family so my mom could see Serena and it was awesome. I got to see Halep win too.

Yeah, almost 100F out there, heat getting to djokovic.
We have tickets to men’s 4th round at US Open this year, and if the rankings hold, might get to see djokovic. Pretty cool.

Joker needs to get a break or this is over.

Good tiebreak so far. Keep thinking djokovic is going to pass out.

Crazy how Djokovic somehow won that set. Absolutely nuts.

its a fricking awesome tournament. great set up and so easy to bounce around courts and see anyone and everyone. watching a literal top 10 player in the world in an early round match from 10 yards away is very much in play. good food and drink situation too.

it is 30 minutes north of downtown, which is fine, but cincinnati is not like buzzing with tennis tournament atmosphere or anything.

Djoker with the break in the 3rd. I had a feeling he would get a bit of revenge today. Still has to serve it out but I think that break will be decisive with the way he is serving in this set. He has looked the better player than Alcaraz this tournament. Carlos has been inconsistent on the North American hard courts so far.

This would definitely live in tennis lore. 100 degrees Djoko looked dead on his feet. I want whatever is in those pills!

Wow what a get by Alcaraz against match point. Really Djokovic did all he could to win that point and Alcaraz pulled a rabbit out of his hat. Djoker will have to serve it out
