Djokovic seemed to be moving OK and didn't overtly seem in pain or flinching etc? Maybe not as fast as he was previously though?

I don't think he was quite at his best though generally, but possibly more as he hadn't been tested much since coming back from injury. The final was his first match against a top 10 seed.

But even when he was playing well he was outclassed. Alcaraz was so incredibly fast! He got to shots that would normally have won Djokovic the point, and Djokovic's strategy of coming to the net didn't work either.

Great match!
