Alcaraz spent 10 hrs and 42 mins on Court where as djokovic spent 5hrs 23 mins. Alcaraz isn't is in his peak till yet. Age was never a factor When Federer was playing Federer in late 2010s. So why it is now
First match I’ve ever gone to and I will always remember this for the rest of my life, such a historical match. Whoever got Novaks racket is a lucky person.
This was crazy. A rollercoaster of emotions. It’s so unique. A birth of a new rivalry with one player coming towards the end of his career and the other only beginning it. Never write off Novak Djokovic.
@@RawDogTVthat's not an exaggeration. They're so close in quality and they're the best in the world. Nole being the best of all time and Carlos being the one that will lead the next generation.
@@RawDogTVI mean dude isn't wrong. I watch a sh*t load of sports from football to cricket and this is some rivalry. Messi n Ronaldo was the biggest now it's probably this. Those guys are old now.
At this stage in his career I would be happy if djokovic just competed but to be able to still win such physicallly demanding matches is nothing short of phenomenal
I think Djokovic still has a lot left in the tank. There may be 4-5 Grand Slams still to come. He could play for another four years at a very high level.
Go for the 24th Slam, Novak. I love watching you play more than any other tennis legend. Incredible Fighting Spirit. Truly Inspiring. Carlos is by far the most challenging opponent against Novak.
In late 2000, fought with Federer and Nadal. Completely dominated from 2011 to 2020 with Federer, Nadal, Murray, Delpotro, wawrinka. After 2020, fighting with Sinner, Ruud, Alcaraz, tsitsipas, Zverev, medvedev. This is more than enough to call Djokovic as the GOAT.
Dominating nadal is not true H2h 30-29 is no domination. In 2020 novak was smoked by rafa at rg 6-0,6-2,7-5 was the score and you say domination. Wow. Only on hardcourts he dominated him brother don't fool around. But he was killed on clay by rafa 20-8 for information
Except during the last wimbledon where he looked spent. We all have our good and bad days. Carlos wasn’t playing that well with too many unforced errors.
@@grl9917So you’re saying Djoko can only win when Carlos is having a bad day ? So what happened at the Roland Garros semi-final, another bad day ? Also Djoko is 36 and is still winning tournaments, maybe he’s just a better athlete ever considered that. Also yes, he probably could’ve done better at Wimbledon but again, the guy is 36.
@@grl9917 @grl9917 Thats a total bs.Alcaraz actually played better in Cincinati than on Wimbledon,but on Wimbledon Djokovic looked tired while yesterday he played much better
It's unbelievable that a man like Alcaraz has come along and he's being able to push Djokovic beyond limits he has probably not touched before. Seriously, this was the greatest 3-set non-slam final in history. The level has been raised like never before.
Rome 2005, Rome 2006 (5 sets with match points saved by Nadal against Roger), Nadal-Djokovic Olympics 2008, Madrid 2009, Indian Wells 2011 were better non-Slam matches IMO. But this could be a solid top 6 of all time in non-Slam matches.
Also, Djokovic is 36 and not at his best. Of course he has been pushed to this límits before. A better, younger and fitter viersion of Nkvak has lost Masters 1000 matches to Fedal many times. In fact, Nadal leads Djolovic 10-7 in Slam meetings (including 2-1 at the US Open). So you saying no one in the history of tennis has challenged Novak like Alcaraz is ridiculous ignorance.
The fact that Djokovic at almost 37 years old still provides the Tennis world with new rivalries and such matches is a contribution to the sport of tennis that should be regarded as his greatest achievement and something that I dont think many other athletes, regardless of sport have ever done before.
If Djokovic somehow wins 30 grand slams in his career, to me I don't think their should be any doubt about eho is the greatest sports player of all time. Before last few years, Federer was considered as one of the greatest athletes ever. And Djokovic playing easily in the toufhest era of this sport, spending most of the time against Federer and Nadal, two other greatest players of this sport, facing both of them nearly 60 or more times in his career, and now facing another GOAT potential in the making at 36 years old... If somehow in this ultimate competitive era he wins 30 grand slams, I don't think any other athlete was even close to Djokovic in his sport. Seeing how Federer was one of the greatest athletes ever few years ago, and seeing someone who wins 10 slams morr than him and destoys him in every other stat of this game... That's true something from another universe. I will say again, this was definitely the greatest era of tennis.
@@hristijandimitrovski8664 2011-2020 Djokovic won 20 slams, Federer+Nadal 18...So what a debate about the GOAT... There is problem with the brains...Just you all debate...truth is so obvious...But Novak refuses UK passport, that is the problem..
I don't think people realize how absurd it is for Novak to still be playing at such a high level at his age, and still winning major trophies against ANOTHER generation of athletes.
Carlos also did an amazing come back in the 3rd. But Carlos played just a bit too short on his forehand to hurt Djokovic in the third, he was not resetting Djokovic's position relative to the baseline with deeper shots. His 1st serve percentage also dropped in the 3rd. He knows exactly what he has to work on.
Novak’s comeback in the second set was beyond impressive, even saving a match point. Alcaraz’s multiple match point saves in the third though were equally impressive, if not even more so. Both these guys bring their A game when their back is against the wall, which makes for absolute epics like this
@@matthewnordstromblame the umpires and referees then Novak is doing what he can to recover mentally and give himself an advantage it obviously worked since he won the match.
@@matthewnordstrom I guess athletes should just piss in their pants when the nature calls, according to you... if he has the right to go to the toilet during the match then by all means he can use it... now shut up and gtfo
For me, Novak is the best to have ever played. Skill, determination and never give up attitude is tops but how he handles the pressure points is beyond impressive. I thought he would lose this one. He looked down and out halfway through that 2nd set and he still persevered. Shame on me for doubting him. Novak, you the man!
There is no one better in adversity than one, Novak Djokovic. Astounding feat of grit and determination. Wow. Edit: 1.5K likes. God Damn 😂 Came back to watch this again. Unbelievable from both. Still can't believe Novak pulled this out. Clutch is sn understatement. Coming from the biggest Fed fan.
And these weirdos were saying that Wimbledon was the “passing of the torch.” Djokovic handed Alcaraz a free set, a free break in the 2nd set, and still won the match against a guy 16 years younger
@@mikemoggerson6651Djokovic was amazing here , truly amazing, and is the greatest player ever IMO; but you calling people weirdos for saying Wimbledon was a passing of the torch? Surly you have to admit that Carlos is immanently becoming the best player in the world, if not already there?
It's a honour to be able to watch these 2 battle it out. The amount of jaw dropping shots both these players make during a match is legendary and the respect they have for each other is always evident.
Almost 37 years old and plays a 3 setter match like this… what a beast… unbelievable. I have no idea how he is able to do that still… just GOAT stuff… Edit: Djokovic is actually 36 years old and 3 months old. Which apparently, for some people, makes a huge difference on my statement. 😂
@@enigmaticul56yes but look at the reaction at the end. It Is not the reaction of the stronger, confident, player. It Is the reaction of the winner against a superior player. He knows that alcaraz Is something tennis has never seen before.

Novak ha tenido mejores rendimientos a lo largo de su carrera. Obviamente por el tema físico y edad, tuvo que dejarlo todo sin duda, hasta hace un tiempo, mentalmente no lo quebraban así.
Unreal… from both players, but, Novak.. my word! You’re the GOAT! Carlos is unbelievable, Novak pulling off this win, crazy!! I don’t know how many more we’ll get between these two, but this is Tennis at its best. 🙌🙌
I don't agree, I saw an ageing player struggling with his stamina. It was actually disappointing to see how badly Djoko was playing. 8 years ago this match wouldn't have been close. A simple 6:2 6:3 for Nole.
@@wpww3343 Those shots are a product of no resistance from Djoko's part. Tennis is about limiting your opponent and Nole has been failing in that department more and more. An average club player can hit you with a 100MPH passing shot if you put a slow ball in front of him. All it took for Djoko to win yesterday was to increase his ground stroke speed by 10% after he took some miracle medicine. Carlos couldn't cope after. A 28 year old Nole would start and finish the match at 20% more.. you do the math
@@nyali2 Absolute rubbish. If Carlos couldn’t compete then how was it that the match came down to a tight final set tie break? Novaks tennis IQ won him this month and I’m not sure he would have won this match 10 years ago.
@@nyali2 Unhinged. Djokovic is not playing like he used to in 2011, but that is normal. His level is still stratospheric. Save for Alcaraz, nobody is close to him.
@@adnanshahriar4435 well actually he did withdraw from Vienna but what i mean is he has accomplished nothing since Wimbledon. for a world number 2, winning only one or two rounds in minor tournaments is basically nothing, actually its less than nothing it ruins his percentages
Cherish these moments. Tennis at it's best. For the Djoker another moment to remember that he is still in the game. He's mentally and physically a monster. ❤
I love the mentality of both players that they literally never give up a point unless it’s physically impossible…very inspiring and makes for great tennis!
I feel a little sorry for the rest of the players on tour. These two right now are in a stratosphere of their own. Without doubt one of the greatest ATP matches. Pure theater, such incredible athletes and human beings.
Tie-break man has struck again. What level and what drama. There's such a huge gap between these two and all the rest of the ATP and that's why we need Novak to carry on playing as long as possible.
As a Novak fan, this match was the biggest thrill but also a torture!!! I hope Novak can carry the momentum into the US Open. He’s so overdue for another US Ooen championship.
Hats Off Novak, you deserve massive respect. Novak has taken the sport to another level. What a player. Admire his mental strength never ever gives up. Wow.....
HOW ON EARTH he keeps playing like that after losing so many chances to close the game? If you needed another proof he's the GOAT, Djoko at 60%-70% is still enough to beat the #1 in 2023, the man mastered his mind in ways only gurus do. Truly impressive
@@hrabmv Let him who has no sin cast the first stone. Anyway, was cheating a hearsay? Look at yourself first.

This was one of the best non grand slam matches of all time. Respect to both the players for going beyond their limits to give us a hell of a match. Looking forward for us open final just like this 🔥🔥🔥
3:36 “it’s not the match we were hoping for, not the match it had the potential to be” just sums it up really. When even the commentators count him out he still has the belief no matter how far behind or how bad he’s feeling he still believes. What a champion
The guy just never grows old. Thought he was finished after Alcaraz took the 2 points lead and to produce such come back and win is an incredible way to do it. He still got it in him. Congratulations 🎊
Did you watch the game? Carlos didn't take a 2 game lead, Djoko hit 3 doubles in a row, it was an early Christmas present!!! This is unheard of. He was playing 50% of his capacity, he is 37 and can't keep up anymore. Apart from Carlos tennis is dead, these youngsters are trash. Wawrinka hitting Tiafoe off the court tells you the story of today's top tennis. Or Murray beating the youngsters with 2 metal implants.. This is the lowest level of tennis I have ever remember. :(
@@nyali2do you realize you said a 37 years old cant keep up when he just beat alcazar that is 20? Without showing no physical drop, those presents you call instead are physical drop from alcaraz, ad other time he had cramps for example. He can be 20 but djokovic seems more in shape to, and i bet at this point way more talented, cos if at 37 can mala alcaraz struggle like that as in wimpledon can imagine a possibile fair match alcaraz 37 vs djokovic 37 or even the opposte how it would be…just imagine

Today I'm like a zombie at work from not much sleep but it was worth it, one of the best matches I've ever watched, a fight between 2 gladiators, I'm glad that Novak won in the end but really congratulations to Carlos, an amazing player and fighter.
It wasn't easy for Djokovic to come back from the Wimbledon defeat and win this, but he has made some subtle changes in his game and he is too strong in the head. Many Congratulations Djokovic the great master! Well played Alcaraz!
Que gran deportista Djokovic, sin duda alguna ya pasó a ser el mejor tenista de la historia, luchó con Federer, Nadal y ahora Alcaraz, larga vida al rey, larga vida a Novak Djokovic.
The match of the year and once of the best matches in tennis history. Both gave everything, blood sweat and tears. Djokovic fights an incredibly fit Alcaraz, from a set and a break down, battling a heat stroke AND saving championship point to win an almost 4 hour long match. Insane. The US Open is going to be fun.
Novak calling the trainers at the most opportune time of the match for himself to break Carlos's rhythm and give himself time to recover... I'd be a lot more inclined to believe he's really suffering from heat stroke or anything else if he hasn't done this same thing his entire career. It's absolutely been his MO and the other top players have even made reference to it many times throughout the years. It's gotten to be like The Boy Who Cried Wolf with him...Regardless, amazing match. Just hope he doesn't do the exact same thing again in the US Open Final.
Alcaraz had a very scrappy two weeks and when Novak broke him to love early in the first set it was already 2:20AM in India and I selpt thinking this is ending in straight sets in favour of Novak. Can't believe this final went to this extent. Match points, tie-breaks, comebacks and you name it what wasn't there. One of the best Masters 1000 final ever. Well played Carlos! Congratulations Novak!
I watched the first set and the first break of second set after that I thought it's over and carlos will not allow Novak to come back from this down and slept But man after all the years of watching Novak play I still can't predict what this guy can do So I woke up and picked my phone just to see Novak won
The greatest of all time comes through again!! Remarkable. What a great rivalry this will be to cap off Djoković’s career. Finally a worthy rival from the new generation.
I tought I’ll be the only one as usual watching this in home, found myself watching with my parents and brother who aren’t interested in tennis and were all watching till the last point, impressed by this masterpiece played by the most talented players in activity untill 2 am (moroccan local time) .. This legendary match will remain as a classic in the tennis history.
Imagine being 3-1 down in the second set (with the first set already lost) and being able not only to overcome that result but eventually to win the match against World Numer 1. The mental strength you need to do that is just insane 🇷🇸🐐. Match of the year, no doubts.
@@blistering2900 TBH both had their chances. Novak should have never lost the first set and Carlos the second. Then again Novak couldn't close it in the 3rd on his own serve.
Hands down the best match of the year (outside slams). Alcaraz is like Nadal, and Novak himself said it, the kid doesn't give up, but Novak showed once again why he is the greatest winner in the history of the sport.
@@Airfabio let's hope not. And it's amazing that despite suffering multiple injuries through the years, Nadal got to remain in the top 10 for 15 straight years.
@@RohitKumar-zm3nw He could easily beat the record. He will win at least 2 Grand Slams every year. He will play at least 12-14 more years. Makes it over 25. Here you go
Staying awake in germany to see the whole sensational Finale is one of the best decissions in this year from my side. Thank you so much for this great game. THANK YOU. Novak, you are the GOAT.
How Djokovic switches mental gears is outrageous. He is playing in US after 2 yrs and to come back from set and half down! Incredible. Alcaraz will learn more and become even better.
I think Novak is also able to still learn and improve or at least keep up with him until age really start doing its thing. Let's hope not next 2 years!
carlos is definitely a challenging opponent, but that is just one person. technically speaking, it is correct to say that this era is pretty weak overall.
@@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi zverev either hits his second serve at 130mph or 60mph due to nerves and stands near the back fence and literally pushes the forehand short to the middle of the court during big points. that’s why thiem was able to win a grand slam against zverev cause somebody had to be the winner. elite players step up to the challenge in big moments. rune is very talented, but also very immature and spoiled/entitled. so when things get tense he also implodes if and when he doesn’t get his way. sinner is finally coming into his own which is great for the sport. but has zero grand slams so far. who else rounds up the “top players” pack? ruud, fritz, paul, rublev, hurkacz, de minaur (lmaoo), khachanov, tiafoe… i mean don’t get me wrong they are all solid players, but cmon, they all lack that last bit of push to get them over the edge. and these are the top 20! at least during a previous different era, there was delpo, prime murray, prime nadal, prime federer, prime wawrinka (beast), cilic, and others with grand slams or at least deep grand slam run experience that were rounding out the pool of competition. (like ferrer, tsonga, monfils, berdych, nishikori, etc..) idk, i find this current era to be quite weak. i’m sure things will improve in the near future, but i’m speaking about current and the past couple years.
Current era is not weak, it's just weaker than the golden era, obviously, that's it, only some fedal fans claim it to be weak so they can belittle Djoko
This must be one of the best 3 set matches I have ever seen. Match points saved on both ends. Spectacular shots galore. We can only hope that they meet again at the US Open.
This little rivalry is actually better for both players, even if Alcaraz lost im also happy for him because he has a chance to play with the GOAT and improve his game even more. For Djokovic im happy because this could give him another reason to fight and we might see him for longer.
Novak had to face two of the other big three to win his 22 titles, and face young talent who is almost half his age to win his 23, and he can still compete with this generational talented youngster under almost 100 F degree and won it, I am out of words to say how great ND is.
Novak is the only obstacle in front of Carlos. The entire generation of Meddy, Zverev, Tsitsipas are no match for him. It's incredible to see the old master still be so competitive and beat the young prodigy. Utterly incredible.
Agree with both. I'm a long time Nadal (and now Alcaraz) fan, but hands down to Djokovic. The level of play he has been able to display during the last years is beyond belief. I didn't think he would be able to compete at this level being 36 yr old, but what he has achieved lately makes him the undisputed goat. And hands down to the beautiful rivalry between those two, it0s heartwarming to hear the beautiful words that each dedicate to the other one.
@@ThrashJazzAssassinNo wonder, you are now Alcaras fan. 😂 He is reincarnation of Nadal. Hi balls to backhands and anabolic this is all 😂 How could he be the number 1? The weakest tour in history! The only answer.

The fact that Djokovic at almost 37 years old still provides the Tennis world with new rivalries and such matches is a contribution to the sport of tennis that should be regarded as his greatest achievement and something that I dont think many other athletes, regardless of sport have ever done before.
He just turned 36 btw
And also federer won Wimbledon by the age 36
If Djokovic somehow wins 30 grand slams in his career, to me I don't think their should be any doubt about eho is the greatest sports player of all time. Before last few years, Federer was considered as one of the greatest athletes ever. And Djokovic playing easily in the toufhest era of this sport, spending most of the time against Federer and Nadal, two other greatest players of this sport, facing both of them nearly 60 or more times in his career, and now facing another GOAT potential in the making at 36 years old... If somehow in this ultimate competitive era he wins 30 grand slams, I don't think any other athlete was even close to Djokovic in his sport. Seeing how Federer was one of the greatest athletes ever few years ago, and seeing someone who wins 10 slams morr than him and destoys him in every other stat of this game... That's true something from another universe. I will say again, this was definitely the greatest era of tennis.
@@hristijandimitrovski8664 2011-2020 Djokovic won 20 slams, Federer+Nadal 18...So what a debate about the GOAT... There is problem with the brains...Just you all debate...truth is so obvious...But Novak refuses UK passport, that is the problem..

I don't think people realize how absurd it is for Novak to still be playing at such a high level at his age, and still winning major trophies against ANOTHER generation of athletes.
So true!

Hahaha the Djokovic haters are everywhere
Carlos also did an amazing come back in the 3rd. But Carlos played just a bit too short on his forehand to hurt Djokovic in the third, he was not resetting Djokovic's position relative to the baseline with deeper shots. His 1st serve percentage also dropped in the 3rd. He knows exactly what he has to work on.
Novak’s comeback in the second set was beyond impressive, even saving a match point. Alcaraz’s multiple match point saves in the third though were equally impressive, if not even more so. Both these guys bring their A game when their back is against the wall, which makes for absolute epics like this
Yes, two toilet breaks and well timed MTOs…so impressive
@@matthewnordstromblame the umpires and referees then Novak is doing what he can to recover mentally and give himself an advantage it obviously worked since he won the match.
@@matthewnordstrom I guess athletes should just piss in their pants when the nature calls, according to you... if he has the right to go to the toilet during the match then by all means he can use it... now shut up and gtfo
For me, Novak is the best to have ever played. Skill, determination and never give up attitude is tops but how he handles the pressure points is beyond impressive.
I thought he would lose this one. He looked down and out halfway through that 2nd set and he still persevered. Shame on me for doubting him.
Novak, you the man!
There is no one better in adversity than one, Novak Djokovic. Astounding feat of grit and determination. Wow.

Djokovic had to summon every ounce of his legendary mental strength to win this one, against a worthy opponent who refuses to lose.
i saw him reaching max level in the end of the 3rd set.. he has always 1 more gear
Novak ha tenido mejores rendimientos a lo largo de su carrera. Obviamente por el tema físico y edad, tuvo que dejarlo todo sin duda, hasta hace un tiempo, mentalmente no lo quebraban así.
Unreal… from both players, but, Novak.. my word! You’re the GOAT! Carlos is unbelievable, Novak pulling off this win, crazy!! I don’t know how many more we’ll get between these two, but this is Tennis at its best. 🙌🙌
I don't agree, I saw an ageing player struggling with his stamina. It was actually disappointing to see how badly Djoko was playing. 8 years ago this match wouldn't have been close. A simple 6:2 6:3 for Nole.
@@nyali2no player no matter how young can teleport himself to return those passings. You don't know what you're talking about
@@wpww3343 Those shots are a product of no resistance from Djoko's part. Tennis is about limiting your opponent and Nole has been failing in that department more and more. An average club player can hit you with a 100MPH passing shot if you put a slow ball in front of him. All it took for Djoko to win yesterday was to increase his ground stroke speed by 10% after he took some miracle medicine. Carlos couldn't cope after. A 28 year old Nole would start and finish the match at 20% more.. you do the math
@@nyali2 Absolute rubbish. If Carlos couldn’t compete then how was it that the match came down to a tight final set tie break? Novaks tennis IQ won him this month and I’m not sure he would have won this match 10 years ago.
@@nyali2 Unhinged. Djokovic is not playing like he used to in 2011, but that is normal. His level is still stratospheric. Save for Alcaraz, nobody is close to him.
He enjoyed this more than some of his slam victories in the last few years. He needed to win this one badly and it shows at the end. Awesome game.
Since Wimbledon defeat and Madrid defeat last year, he had to win this to level h2h against the youngster.
this win got in alcaraz head so much that he hasnt done anything since
@@chenzo6165 what do you mean by not doing anything? Did he withdraw from tournaments?
@@adnanshahriar4435 well actually he did withdraw from Vienna but what i mean is he has accomplished nothing since Wimbledon. for a world number 2, winning only one or two rounds in minor tournaments is basically nothing, actually its less than nothing it ruins his percentages
@@chenzo6165 Only an idiot would dismiss Alcaraz's talent. Winning the French and Wimbledon this year proves that he has done ''something'', eh?
Cherish these moments. Tennis at it's best. For the Djoker another moment to remember that he is still in the game. He's mentally and physically a monster. ❤

@@crosscourtwinnerSinner, Medvedev, Zverev and Rune are all elite opponents too.
@@YouAintGotNoTegridyBoi zverev either hits his second serve at 130mph or 60mph due to nerves and stands near the back fence and literally pushes the forehand short to the middle of the court during big points. that’s why thiem was able to win a grand slam against zverev cause somebody had to be the winner. elite players step up to the challenge in big moments. rune is very talented, but also very immature and spoiled/entitled. so when things get tense he also implodes if and when he doesn’t
get his way. sinner is finally coming into his own which is great for the sport. but has zero grand slams so far. who else rounds up the “top players” pack? ruud, fritz, paul, rublev, hurkacz, de minaur (lmaoo), khachanov, tiafoe… i mean don’t get me wrong they are all solid players, but cmon, they all lack that last bit of push to get them over the edge. and these are the top 20!
at least during a previous different era, there was delpo, prime murray, prime nadal, prime federer, prime wawrinka (beast), cilic, and others with grand slams or at least deep grand slam run experience that were rounding out the pool of competition. (like ferrer, tsonga, monfils, berdych, nishikori, etc..)
idk, i find this current era to be quite weak. i’m sure things will improve in the near future, but i’m speaking about current and the past couple years.
Current era is not weak, it's just weaker than the golden era, obviously, that's it, only some fedal fans claim it to be weak so they can belittle Djoko

Novak is the only obstacle in front of Carlos. The entire generation of Meddy, Zverev, Tsitsipas are no match for him. It's incredible to see the old master still be so competitive and beat the young prodigy. Utterly incredible.
Agree with both. I'm a long time Nadal (and now Alcaraz) fan, but hands down to Djokovic. The level of play he has been able to display during the last years is beyond belief. I didn't think he would be able to compete at this level being 36 yr old, but what he has achieved lately makes him the undisputed goat. And hands down to the beautiful rivalry between those two, it0s heartwarming to hear the beautiful words that each dedicate to the other one.
I would love to agree. I’m a huge Carlos fan, but what about when he faced Paul?
@@ThrashJazzAssassinNo wonder, you are now Alcaras fan. 😂
He is reincarnation of Nadal. Hi balls to backhands and anabolic this is all 😂
How could he be the number 1? The weakest tour in history! The only answer.
@@ВячеславБурундуков-б6к how to tell me you started watching tennis last week without saying it. Try cricket, fella.
One of the ALL TIME greats, thank you boys for the effort!
Absolutely legendary. This match will be remembered for a long long time. Especially when Carlos dominates the scene for many years to come.
I'm not sure if Novak will ever beat him again. But that was awesome.
Novak from looking down and out at one point to winning it..Incredible effort! And Alcaraz, what an asset this young man is going to be for tennis! Hope they both stay healthy for us to watch few more high quality tennis matches, hopefully finals like this. Congratulations to both🎉
Yeah I mean, he does that a lot it isn't exactly a new trick he uses..... guys a full on shit house
This was just incredible. Every shot I seem to be going Oooo, ahhhh, damn!, what!! Congrats Novak. Well played - to the both of them. Simply incredible. 🎾❤️

Djoko never said that . He respects many great players and different eras and he is lucky to be in their company . @@cacau1810
These two produce such epic matches! Such a treat for us tennis fans to watch!
Novak is my sporting hero. To be playing like that at his age is amazing. Love Alcaraz as well. What a final.
Djokovich had millions of important final matches.Alcaraz only 2-3 finals only.Novak much experienced player.
Djokovic realmente é uma máquina, sem dúvidas o melhor da história, o cara com 36 anos dando cansaço em um menino de 20. Predestinado esse homem é
