A community for the ATP, WTA, pros, amateurs, fans, and that one 4.0 guy who definitely could take a set off of Rafa.
LOL at Djokovic post match speech referencing 2019 Wimbledon against Federer. But seriously, as much as hate as he gets, he was really gracious in defeat. "Maybe I won some matches I should've lost. So Even Stevens." His way of saying you win some, you lose some. And giving a lot of credit to Alcaraz and his team.
And now Alcaraz praising Djokovic. "36 is the new 26." What a match.
I was like OH NO YOU DIDNT - but then he said those are some matches he felt he didn’t deserve to win - acceptable haha
Absolutely magnificent match. Might be the absolute best I’ve watched ever. Those 13 deuces were incredible.
Alcaraz really is built different. Unshakeable composure in the final set as well.
I think this match should have the Alcaraz doubters changing their minds a bit. Took it to 5 sets against Djokovic and winning. I like Alcaraz but I was expecting Djokovic to win because of his crazy focus in winning, champion mentality even when people are booing him.
A few weeks ago pundits were almost writing off Alcaraz for not managing cramps better
He’s just 20! And he is already winning big!
He beat an in-form Djokovic who defeated him only a few weeks ago
While beating Medvedev, Rune and Berrettini on the way, not an easy draw at all. I feel like between him, Rune and Sinner we're in for some incredible years of tennis in this decade.
What if the upcoming batch of players actually perform as well, or even better than, the outgoing batch of players?
I hope that's the case, but hopefully for not as long cause then I'd just feel bad for any other male player born in the last 20 years lol.
Imagine being Juan Martin Del Potro or Stan Wavrinka….
