Tough loss. Novak definitely had his chances just could not win the few points that would have mattered. At least he still is the slam leader.

Novak is about to finish this off unfortunately.
But not how you thought he would.

Djok a worst play was the second set breaker. Dumped three backhands in the middle of the net.

Besides that he didn’t really do anything wrong just got beat. It happens

the way this thing started, I thought Djoker ws gonna run him off the court. Amazing tennis undoubtedly hinged on the saved set point in the second. I missed the third and fourth (might have been checking my phone during mass, lol). Got to watch the fifth Thought it was over, over when Djoker smashed his frame on the net post, but still made Alcaraz earn it. Exciting stuff.

Didn't take Alcaraz long to get the gold Daytona on the oysterflex strap on the wrist after that win.

Can’t believe tennis has to suffer with another dirty Spanish grunter

The overhead for the break in the fifth set novak tried a swinging forehand was the difference.


Huge point in retrospect.

Djoks interview is perfect. Close matches go both ways. The winners are simply the ones that put their heads down and continue to produce opportunities

Why you so mad? Because Djoker has 23 GS and isn't retiring soon?
Yes, that is why he is mad

I don’t get the hate. He’s a super likable dude, especially with age. His answers were genuine as shite.

Social media. Everyone has to hate someone now

Greatness used to be universally loved in sports. Now dividing fans is the name of the game

Yeah, more so than most places. I’m actually a fan (of Joker) myself, but money is more important to me, especially since he already has the slam record.

Ask any of the regulars, especially Bunk, who I prefer out of the Big 3.
