Djokovic 4-6 6-4 6-3 *4-3 Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz, what weapons do you have left in you? That’s where we’ve gotten to now in this game.
He controlled the service game at 40-15, but then double-faulted and things got a little tense. There are now so many that Alcaraz has 5 wins and 3 losses.
Worse will follow. He missed a drop shot and then drilled a shot on goal from deep under relatively low pressure.
This will be a double break point for Djokovic. And let’s take a look at the second serve. The rally was intense and mesmerizing, and ultimately belonged to Carlos as Djokovic finished the rally with a prolonged recovery.
Somehow, Alcaraz holds. Now it’s his turn to face the audience and put his fingers in his ears.
Melbourne crowds love it. They don’t want it to end. Let’s see how Djokovic feels about it in his next service game…
