i dont understand how people can hate djokovic tbh .. im a alcaraz fan but i absolutely love this guy .. always humble in victory and defeat always shows great sportsmanship and what a player he is absolute legend .. and also proud of carlitos of the level he already can produce at 20 yrs old against a goat of the game .. what a final thanks to both legends 🤝👑👑
True fans of pure tennis loves him so much.. the hype tennis fans will always go for Fedal. I don't say that Fedal are sh*t.. these two are as amazing and incredible as Nole.. but real tennis fans recognizes that Novak mastered the game of tennis at a level never seen before in the history of tennis! Such a legend ❤
Well said man those people are just pure haters and aren't true tennis fans real tennis fans would love what both of these guys have done today what a match
Every great player has something he does very well. Djokovic's defense is very tough to punch through. But such a defense could be completely neutralized by a player in the mode of Federer or Sampras, when their attacking game is on. And then at other times, Djokovic's defense would win the day. Simple as that.
Its not Novak. Its the toxic fans. You see them all over today. When he wins, oh yeah. But when he loses, all kinds of excuses and the other player doesn't get the proper respect because you know, antivax novak is GOAT. Im sick of it.
Likewise, I am a Nole fan but I cannot help admiring Alcaraz.
The ways he showed his emotions said that he is a real human, too.
Just 2 top players competing at elite levels, no stupid drama, pure intensity and all heart-what great times for tennis fans. RESPECT ✊
so glad there are no line judges and the umpire can't mess up the rhythm, hawk-eye live allows the players to just play and i think it's just the best
Great matches kinda need a little drama. Novak coming back from heat exhaustion gave that today
@@yellowmamba2952 Djokovic taking toilet breaks and medical time outs still messed up the rhythm of Alcaraz.
@@jollyjames30 Didnt he just take one toilet break ? and it was at the end of the set as well so its normal. As for the medical timeout, it happens.. carlos is 20 and still needed one at the french open. there was nothing wrong, it was just a great tennis match between a possible future great and current greatest of all time.
Unforgettable.
This is how a sport should be played. You fight it out in the court, but off the court you respect each others hard work, talent and dedication.
Just two great players acknowledging each other's greatness. No toxic fans, no abuse or hate. Pure class and admiration from all around. Love ❤ that.
It's also quite refreshing to have a conversation about these amazing games now when delusional Fedal fans are out of the picture.
Yes but never forget/forgive what the non classy establishment did to him. A man of his professional, personal Integrity.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah.. I get tired of the toxic fans stuff, where each side's fans becomes so triggered, as if worshipping their favourite rather than enjoying this great sport and being happy for whoever wins:)
Федерер и Надал су били фаворити медија, лошији од Новака а њихови фанови одврстни. Ово је прави тенис🙂 Желим овом малом Шпанцу бриљснтну каријеру ал кад се наш Ноле наигра😊😊😊
2 players on another planet to the rest
Така ли, само те? Аз пък мисля, че има и други невероятни играчи като тях. Завърнали се отново на корта след тежки травми и з
You mean Novak right, because Alcaraz still has to prove it
Tommy Paul has entered the chat
@@avsaturnoAlcaraz has to prove it?! You're talking about a guy who has already won at the age of 20 years old 2 grand slam and 4 masters title. Alcaraz has also an incredible highlight reel. He has already proved it that he's not human
I agree with that - Big 2 which hopefully makes for more of these epic finals
Alcaraz’s taking a page from Novak on how to be humble in defeat. I love this kid!
Carlos "I AM SPEED" Alcaraz 😂
Djokovic has been invincible in the tiebreaks since RG, his only loss was that second set tiebreak against Alacaraz in Wimbledon. He's incredible.
Yes that tiebreak in Wimbledon caused him to lose his strength. Carlos victory in Wimbledon is a huge lesson for Novak, that every time he is playing against Carlos he has to put his all in the match. No missing serve.
"his only loss was that second set tiebreak against Alacaraz in Wimbledon" Then he's not invincible is he?
And because of that he lost. Alcaraz said back then that if he lost that second set, he would have probably lost that match in three straight sets.
@@kieranrankie203 If you have only 1 loss you are still invincible
Experience man, there's no substitute.
Obojica fenomenalni igrači. Bravo Nole srce moje. Ali veliko bravo za ovog divnog mladog momka, pred kojim je velika karijera. Volim kako se nasmeje i bude mu drago, kada ga Nole, sa razlogom, hvali. Vidi se da ga poštuje. Zivi zdravi bili obojica 🙏❤️
God I’m living for these matches, the youth vs experience dynamic is just so captivating. They both bring so much to the court, what a treat
yeah Novak has the muscle, mind and soul memory advantage over Carlos with his 20 year career and 23 GS victories ( actually really probably more like 25 or 26 ). But Carlos has the youth, explosive power, speed advantage over Novak.
Its an interesting battle :D
I cant even imagine anyone apart from Carlos having any chance against Novak at US Open.
@@Stand4Truth716yup definitely the rivalry that might last for a few years if Novak is still able to hold on with his body
US Open turf is comparatively slower than Cincinnati, it doesn't bounce much New York as it is in Cincinnati. This kinda situation favours Medvedev, Zverev, Ruud. So it won't be just Novak and Carlos to be favorites to win the title.
Medvedev could be dangerous if he gives his 100%
@@prash175oh please, and then we hear about the early upsets!
Hurcacz if he doesn't choke. Had a match point against Alcaraz.
36 años y juega como si fuera un chiquillo de 20! Qué extraordinario jugador y maravilloso ser humano!
No te retires nunca!
As a Serbian, i am very proud of Nole for sure! He faces with Roger and Rafa for all this long and he was very successful and now he is keep pushing with younger player but Carlos isn't average player! He is the best player right now and such atlete! Love this guy and for sure i know i will support him after Nole retires. Carlos isn't just a best player, he is great guy also!
the best player in this moment still being alcaraz that played great all the match until djokovic become his drama shows and killed the momentum, and this is not a signal of the best player
@@DJGAMER4310 You need to go back in the past and you will got it why is the Djokovic one of the greatest. Second, nobody tell that is Djokovic currently the best player. Its Alcaras for sure but in the big moment he was not ready to beat Djokovic and his age of winning in the past!!!
As a Serbian...
@@radanagrahovac4339 Gracias 😁
@@DJGAMER4310 Cry freely, there's no shame.. 😅😅😅
Most people praise Novak but as a long time Novak fan I highly respect and like Carlos. He is the best in this generation. He is humble, funny, and he is improving. I will support him when Novak don’t play anymore😆
Carlos as a Novak’s fan I want to say that you are already an icon and a real gentleman. You are made of things that great people are made of and I want to thank you for serving as a example and inspiration to a lot’s of young people mind you a lot’s of older people can learn from you! Also your work ethics, compassion to your team and family is exemplary and thank you for that too not to mention the entertainment and hope for the future of tennis that you are giving us fans. I wish you all the best, you have a great future ahead of you and Spain should be very proud of you. Love from Montenegro ❤❤❤
Every time they meet it gets better… incredible
I am beginning to think that NOVAK DJOKOVIC is truly THE GOAT. I mean at 36 yrs old to beat a red hot unstoppable Alcaraz, is just an incredible feat. Federer and Nadal were outstanding but Nole just keeps churning out these kind of wins, to keep proving his legendary abilities as a champion
He's clearly already the GOAT by all important numbers and statistics. No one would have faulted him for just completely losing out on the H2H at this age against someone 16 years younger who is obviously in line to become the next great. If anything every win against Alcaraz from now on is just extra cherries on top. People were giving Fed the age pass when he was losing to all time greats 5 years younger than him while he was in his early 30s lol. What Novak is doing now is infinitely more impressive IMO and is just more proof of what we already know.
Oui a 36 ans et une condition physique d'un joueur de 26 ans. Novax le plus grand de tous les temps.
Clearly?
The ATP GOAT is determined by OBJECTIVE FACTS, not SUBJECTIVE FEELINGS.
Novak is the GOAT by a wide margin and it’s not even close. Simply look at the facts .

Novaks accomplishments are astonishing when you consider the fact that both Roger & Rafa have had TEN significant advantages to help them over Novak in their careers. The so called “objective” experts, analysts, commentators and media fail to mention this.
Both Roger & Rafa grew up in privileged and affluent environments in Switzerland and Spain with proper facilities to learn and train. Novak grew in a poor war torn country with almost no facilities to learn or train. In fact his parents had to schedule his training to avoid constant bombing raids.
Both Roger & Rafa had easy & soft childhoods with little or no pressure place on them in their affluent environments. Novak grew up poor and his parents invested all they had for his career. Novak knew at an early age tennis for him was a duty, not simply a privilege or for fun. He fully understood before he was a teenager the massive weight place on his shoulders of his whole family on him to succeed in his pro career
Both Roger & Rafa started 5 & 2 years before Novak, which gave both of them a big head start start and many more tournaments to pad their records in the race for GOAT.
Both Roger & Rafa had the the billion dollar industry of the big sponsors pushing the narratives of them being the best.
Both Roger & Rafa had the backing of the TV commentators to continue to push the narrative of them being the best.
Both Roger & Rafa had the backing of the Internet analysts to promote them. Novak was generally shunned most of his career
Both Roger & Rafa had the backing of the court-side fans. During his entire career, anytime Novak played against Roger or Rafa, 90-98% of the crowds favored them over Novak. In fact, the hostile crowds many times constantly tried to harass, taunt, and disrupt Novak during course of his matches against both Roger & Rafa.
The draws have been fixed to favor Roger & Rafa over Novak. Here are the facts. th-cam.com/video/B6UPa4l4Xns/w-d-xo.html
Rogers era of competition was far weaker then Novaks. Simply look at the facts. th-cam.com/video/-dp2JgqvHVYI/w-d-xo.html
10. Both Roger & Rafa have had to compete only against opponents on the other side of the net. In addition to competing with Opponents, Novak has had to compete against the Sponsers, announcers, ATP, commentators, fans, governments etc. Inspite of Novak not being allowed tp play many Majors & Masters, and the facts he has been been cheated out of many weeks #1 by freezing the rankings and losing 2000 points by winning Wimbledon, he still has 96% of the significant records.
@jonathanstirling7167 what an amazing analysis! Thank you for these numbers and for stating some of the most important facts!👏 You should be posting this comment everywhere around the internet!!
@@jonathanstirling7167 fantastic analysis! Noone with an unbiased/ unprejudiced mind can deny that Djokovic is the GOAT.
Haters (on both sides) take note of the respect and admiration these two have fro one another. Win or lose, they are both gracious and complimentary about one another, and you can tell it's sincere. If you truly love the game of tennis, you should be able to respect and applaud the player that beats your favorite. Enjoy the tennis excellence instead of taking it so personally. In the end, it's just a game.
No Novak fan hates Carlos. But we all sure know what that salty as Federer would have described the match saving points by Carlos...he would have called carlos lucky..whereas Nole describes how amazingly Carlos saved that match point.
Some people invest in wars and hate Serbs thanks to media. Some are damaged by vaccines now.
I WAS THERE, I was here at this FINAL!! Nole, and Alcaraz, thank you both SO much, for your sportsmanship and integrity! Sunday was a HOT day, and I can’t imagine how it was on the court. This was my first ever tennis tournament and it was SO much fun seeing you guys, and I’m SO appreciative of the effort BOTH of you put in!!
Wooww so lucky! (Despite the heat)
Greetings to you from Novak's Belgrade, Serbia. The celebration here was insane. The iconic hip hop band "The Belgrade Syndicate" wrote a song dedicated to Novak and performed it for the first time in public, and the entire Serbian silver medal winning basketball team learned the words and sang it with them to Novak, they made Novak cry from emotion...Then all these amazing Serbian athletes went on to celebrate all night together in a venue in Belgrade.
Historic moments.🎉
I have been there twice. It is always soooo hot; just sitting there without shade is unbeatable. Can’t imagine how they can play for almost 4 hours with such high intensity.
Carlos i am truly happy to see you happy after this lost, stay postive you got this. 👍
It’s incredible that Carlos is pushing Djokovic to be the best ever even at this stage of his career and Djokovic is proving again and again why he’s the GOAT.
It’s also insane that Alcarez, at 20 is pushing the GOAT at arguably his peak still to be better! Gonna be the face of the sport for a decade at least.
The respect between them is also incredible, and they’re knowing it’s not necessarily a rivalry but more of a transition and a competition to see who really is the best
I have prognosed Djokovic in 3 sets 😊 and I am happy for that.
Great champions never die without fighting till the end, and Nole is a great champion ❤ !!!
Tennis fans all win today. the US Open is going to be AMAZING
Yess!!
❤❤❤❤
If medvedev and novak is in same draw, carlos wins it 100%
Hope this epic rivalry continues for a few more years ❤
❤❤❤❤❤
No way..as a Djoker fan...I'm emotionally spent
@@Futhi.Johnson me too it gives me a heart attack
@@Futhi.Johnsonright? 😂
2 years exactly
Nole standard...GOAT...Alcaras incredible player,fast,strong, the only player ever that I saw next to Novak that is technically perfect in attack and defence from both sides.Just unbelievable,as Nole fan wish him all the best
That was the heat. It was brutal. I'm surprised they finished that game.That's one Trophy that Novak is gonna remember.great game Novak and Alcaraz.
What many young players fail to understand is that these 2 are so good because of the respect they have for others...
We want more! Hopefully we will see more final encounters between these two great players.
I think it is inevitable, and that makes me impatient to see more! Ridiculous level of tennis.
Well Novak is 36. He won’t be around forever.
Do you understand that this is about a completely new tennis generation at a completely new level of tennis and that Novak is still leading? Infact, Novak Djokovic began his professional tennis career in 2003. Novak Djokovic and Andre Agassi played tennis during the same era (not necessarily against each other). Carlos Alcaraz was not born at that time.
Thank you for your comment, one of the best I have read. People are generally shortsighted and you just reminded them by how much, in fact they are. 🙏
Yup..
These comments are sooo refreshing than the ones on ig. How can anyone hate both of them? They produced outstanding tennis, on another lever and people still hate them. They both deserve love and respect.
How Djokovic does it? Just amazing! Hats down to GOAT 👏👏👏
Who else thinks these 2 will meet in the US OPEN Finals?
❤❤❤
We can't predict maybe one of them will get injured or lose to someone else before the final game
Not me. Djokovic won't make it to the final.
@@freemangriffin4953 Based on what parameters? Your wet dreams?
@@freemangriffin4953Wait and see
What a match!!!!!
Amazing play fro both player
I learn so much about competing in general listening to Novak speak
Pure champions!!!! 💪🏻🎉🎾😊 Love these guys!!!!!
It is easy to be humble in victory. Being gracious in defeat is the hardest. Undisputed GOAT Djokovic always showed that. Alcaraz shows it as well. I remember people like Federer were sore losers
You can shit on federer but these guys arent super heroes they make mistakes while federer was a bit arrogant in his younger years when he aged you cant deny he became more humble and class as an exemple you can go watch his speech after wimbledon 2019 or his press conference. They are all great guys from my point of view
@@angerisdiscipline3913 Very good point of view in my opinion
@@angerisdiscipline3913not really. He talks a good game while never helping the lower ranked players with $$. Screw Fed / Nadal
@@angerisdiscipline3913 what about us open 2010? Federer wasn't a teenager coming into age at that point. I don't mind a sore loser after a match with so much on the line and when everything was seeming to go your way.. but you might be right, either Federer really had a change of heart and became humble, or it was in his best interest PR-wise. I hope it is the former but considering what a PR guy Federer is, you can't discount the latter.
@@angerisdiscipline3913You’re not exactly wrong but you’re not right either. Fed was pretty arrogant up through 2014/15 and then he became more gracious. His post match conferences after losses to Djokovic at the USO in 2010 and 2011 were appalling. He’s also never really helped the generation of players behind him the way that Djokovic has. Many many younger players speak of how Djokovic has spent time advising them but I’ve yet to hear one player say that about Fed.
THE GUYS ARE BOTH GREAT PLAYERS AND VERY HUMBLE PERSONS! EPIC ! 😊❤
Novak remembering every point/ detail.. hope he has many more years of tennis left in him to be a joy to his fans! Also Carlos is incredibly modest for his age and Talent.great life lies ahead of him
Djokovic and carlos are literally the gojo and sukuna of this tennis world right now. The gap between them and the rest of players are huge
Gojo is stronger than Sukuna
@@Srbenda126 djokovic is sukuna since hes old? Or he is gojo coz hes better?

Two great champions!
Love ya Carlitos! You make Tennis so much fun to watch! Congratulations! Best of luck at the US Open. I'm cheering for you! ❤🎉😊
This was more than just a win going into the USO.
He beat his demons as you could see him doubt it at times (the double fault on match point)
Interesting times before he retires
Only few people understand that this sport is a kind of internal battle with, as you say, the own demons, and trascend your limitations to achieve the glory, i think because of this, tennis is such an intense experience more than many other sports.
@@FranHn1982 Agreed. It's kind of like boxing without the gloves. That's how I look at it anyway.
Я восхищен игрой обоих игроков, но Новак продолжает удивлять теннисный мир своей настойчивостью быть всегда первым.
Mind-blowing match 👏👏👏!!!! Fantastic players. Nole is a mental giant, idemooooo!!!! ❤️
IDEMOOOOO NOLE MAJSTOREEEEE
VLASTA IZ SUTOMORA SMO MONTENEGROOOOO IDEMOOOOO
👋 ja sam in Novog Sada, ali živim na Sejšelima. Pozdrav 💪💪
I am a Novak fan but i must agree that Carlos is very likeable and a great player
Congratulations to both, I don’t remember seeing Djokovic so exhausted, even though he managed to come through, amazing performance.
Carlito is such a gentleman for being so young! It's so rare to see this in men's tennis with some of the jerks who haven't even won a Slam & the way they carry on. Carlito is great for the sport & hopefully for many years to come!
That was incredible! Great tennis.
Carlos is so mature for his age it's incredible. The moment Novak retires he will get bored winning everything
Gledala sam mnogo Novakovih meceva, ovo je za mene bio naltezi, mnogo se mucio, toliko da sam mislila da ce da preda, volim ga i divim mu se, koji je to karakter, covek se nikad ne predaje, Alcaraz je Nadal br.2, igra fantasticno i dobar je covek
Ovo je prvi Novakov mec koji nisam odgledao do kraja, rekao sam izgubio je, to je to i legao.
Congrats and love always Djoko!!!!!!👏👏❤️❤️🙌
Carlos is unbelievable-amazing guy! I hope he wins us open and many grand slams.
incredible feast from djoko in this interview as well
he's always such a gift, always humble, passionate despite beingf tired as fuck, wanting to be precise to be clear to us all when he speaks about his game, way of life, values...
and he's so damn honest
this is the guy i really really really respect
So much respect! They both won!
Every match they've played (for RG just up to Carlos' cramping) could have gone either way. Great for the sport, it is unbelievable how Djokovic is still at this level at his age
It really adds to the excitement when you know its 50/50 every time. Alcaraz has proved that he doesn't choke even in GS finals.
Well, yes, cheating will do that for you!
like theyre not all on peds@@freemangriffin4953
Wow🎉, so young and so talented 🎉, congratulations, we’ll see you on court for a very long time.
I'm a Djokovic fan but enjoy watching Alcaraz play and this was a roller-coaster of a draw. Alcaraz' slice-kick on the forehand side was incredible (or maybe a combination of ball pressure and ambient temperature). Djokovic pretty chill here. They probably should have suggested a different colored warmup for the post-match.
Praying that before nole retires we can have plenty of more matches like this 🙏
2 class acts both on and off the court and incredible tennis players. Novak still winning titles at 36 and Carlos the future star of men's tennis. The pure definition of how sports should be: competitive on the court, classy off.
I always fall more in love with Carlitos after losses.
So humble in victory and losses and his smiles.
We are so lucky to have him.
NOVAK IS THE GRAND MASTER, THE GOLDEN MASTER 🇷🇸❤️, THE INDISPUTABLE GOAT!! 🇷🇸🔥🐐
An absolutely amazing human being ❣️
He's my least favorite player of all time and I can't wait for that jerk to finally retire!
@@freemangriffin4953i hope you can sleep well at night, dear HATER 😊 you only post bad comments about nole the G.O.A.T. you poor soul, stop torturing youself with your feelings ❤
Such wholesome players 🔥♥️
Of all sports Tennis right now is the best in terms of the quality of the athletes both on and off the court. No to mention this incredible rivalry in the making :)
*Carlito learnt a lot with this final. Probably how to avoid his contender get back to the match. Im fan for a good match. Thanks to both for this game. Amazing* .
Greetings from Recife, Brasil.
Novak is the face of tennis, every win come along with a new record. Great
Less than 2 years ago we thought tennis was going to be lost without the big 3. I feel relieved that it won't be.
What a battle you can se that Alcaraz will have the top step all to himself very soon.
Excellent analysis by Djokovic he really was honest and open no matter how good and experienced you are there are always those who will really challenge you.
Djokovic will come out of the US Open as the world number 1 once he goes past the second round/second match as Carlos has 2000 points to defend and even if he wins he will still stay at 9815 points and currently Djokovic is placed at 9795 points only 20 points behind carlos.... 99.99% it's confirmed that Novak will be the world number after the us open and if he wins the us open novak will jump directly to 11795 points where I don't think Carlos will catch him for a while...May be for one last time novak will end the year with #1 title
Remember that Carlos also didn't play the Australian Open,Paris Masters and ATP finals which Djokovic won both and reached the finals and enjoying the points from those wins. Djokovic also has about 5000 points to defend after the US Open. So Carlos if he's healthy will have his chances. it will balance itself out.
Yes, that's what i was thinking too! Besides USO has a long history of being unpredictable (especially for the last 15 years or so...), It's not granted that Alcaraz will reach USO finals this year to even begin with...if loses it any stage before final it will be an over 3000 points jump ahead for Novak and that gap can only be narrowed if Alcaraz plays and wins virtually everything come September and still has to hope Novak himself doesn't win a single point...good chance for Novak to end as #1 for the 8th (and probably like you said final) time this year! Fingers crossed! He needs this USO like never before in his career, maybe with the exception of 2021!! I can't stress enough how it's i portant this year!
@@Summon256 exactly....even if Djokovic reaches quarters/semis or finals of the USO he will take a pretty decent lead and for alcaraz to come back to #1 he will have to win at paris masters or Shanghai masters and reach the final of the other and above all he has to win the atp finals to go past Djokovic....its not that Djokovic won't play a single match after the USO till the atp finals... He will play both the masters Tournaments and may be some 250/500 events before the atp finals and then the atp finals and he will gain some points too.... Alcaraz has to play everything and win everything to surpass nole which is almost an impossible task
@@KCNwokoye What happens in the beginning of 2024 is unimportant for year-end results of this season! And Shanghai is masters tournament that alone has more free points for Novak to gather from winning it, than both of his ATP250 and ATP500 titles last year! So no, it doesn't balances itself out...
@@omkarop1834U clearly dont know how year end rankings work. Carlos is 500 points ahead of djokovic in the race to ye. no.1.
Please win Monte Carlo next year.!! Triple career golden masters.
GOAT knew he couldn’t risk myocarditis now you know why.
Match was amazing ❤❤
I was privileged enough to be AT this match in person!! So blessed, so happy to be there in Cincinnati! I love these guys. Love both Djoker & Alcaraz!! And Zverev. Joker tore his shirt off, a complete champ!! I was so happy to be there
Tellement intéressant et impressionnant de voir ces 2 générations s’opposer !
Carlos ur the next phenomenon and the next tennis goat... Ur consistency is amazing and is the quality of a goat! All the best to u!
Desde que llegó NOLE tenia resfriado, más la humedad HOY... 36 años es UN DURO
Yes I noticed him blowing his nose & coughing a bit during an earlier match but think it was mostly the heat. It reach 40 degrees at one point. As soon as it cooled a bit Nole came cack to life. I thought it was over when he was broken in the 2nd set, but this Novak! Incredible! Amazing tennis from both ultimately.
Novak and Carlos both amazing tennis players with great Personality! Carlos soon will be Novak successor! I am happy for both of them! Great job!
Djokovic is just simply inspiring for me! I really like him as a person and sportsman. What a match of these two.
But this mental strength of Djokovic, it’s pure magic
i love big3 and rising star. I am pretty sure that carlitos will be big1 alone in tennis history after big three. on tour no other players not close his level.
lucky that carlitos found a great opponent for himself only for a few years.
good guy carlitos
Dont underestimate the rest of the guys on tour. They not twisting their thumbs out there. This is motivation for a lot of them to step it up. You'll see.
Why i lov tennis- it all respect with the greats.....respect ❤novak carlos
I fell asleep Djokovic was getting hammered woke up he won wish i stayed up now what a match
I LOVE these two guys. Amazing!!!!
NAJBOLJI SVIH VREMENA.
NOLE
How Nole can win with a such low percentage of first service. Big mental. When N. Djokovik retires, Carlos will be alone on the world roof. This very young player is so strong. I am fan of Novak but C. Alcaraz is impressive. If there is no hurts for this young talent, nobody will stop him. Thanks for the great show. I just hope a more discret coaching during next matchs.
Otherworldly match
This is what's sport all about!!! Two warriors, two champions, one The Greatest of all time, at the end of his career, the other just started his career, present and future Great, playing great tennis, pushing each other to the limit!!! And truly respect each other in full form!!! That's a joy of sport!!! Without any jelaousy or hide bad feelings..
Great examples of true sportsmanship by both of these guys. Play hard on the court and respect and compliment each other off the court.
i tell it again and again. Djokovic biggest opponent is always the weather. Everbody saw how weak djokovic physical was between 4-3 first set until 4-2 in the second set when the court was with the sun and the heat, but when the shadow came and the extreme heat was gone and the night session came djokovic plays unbelievebel. AGAIN AND DJOKOVIC BIGGEST OPPONEENT IS the heat and the wind like in wimbledon final 2023....Without the wind djokovic would never ever lost that final WIMBLEDON FINAL 2023....YOURE the GREATEST OF ALL TIME THE REAL GOAT::::IDEMOOOOOOO GOOD LUCK IN NEW YORK CHAMP
Alcaraz is Djokos biggest opponent now, not the weather. Weather is part of the game. Conditioning is a huge skill. Djokovic lost in Wimbledon. No excuses. Alcaraz lost in Roland Garros with cramps (bc of weather). No excuses. Props to Djoko for being at this level at 36. Props to Alcaraz for playing at this level at 20.
He made some terrible shot choices & shots in crucial moments at Wimbledon that the wind was clearly a factor in. I will say Alcaraz seems to be able to adapt to change like that a little better than Novak
@@Flamamacue just my personal opinion but I think it's mental pressure more than weather. I mean who should be more likely to understand how to combat unusual weather, the rookie or the veteran? Novak is trying to cement his legacy, Carlos is just starting. Sometimes guys are too young to realize the gravity of a situation. You could be right, I could be right, or it could be a combination of factors. All I know is that it's exciting tennis
Bruh, all of their matches have been extremely close and went the distance with mostly closely contested sets. Lets be real in Paris if Alcaraz didn't cramp it likely would have went 5 sets there too. Their levels of tennis are just that close. You can't say that the weather is the factor when these two players are just evenly matched swords and the slightest variation in one of their shots could change the outcome of a whole match. I'm a novak superfan and I'll support him until the very end, but that doesn't mean we as novak fans should disrespect the legendary level of competition Carlos is bringing to the table. At the end of the day it's about making the shots in the highest stakes situation possible because both of these players push each other to that extreme. Sometimes they deliver, sometimes they don't. That's the highest level of sport. Lets call it and appreciate it for what it is.
I think it's pretty disrespectful and arrogant to say Djokovic's biggest opponent is the weather. Alcaraz goes toe-to-toe, 50/50, with Djokovic every time they play. Clearly Alcaraz is his biggest opponent.
I feel Win, Lose or Draw Carlos is the only player out there who ain't scared of Novak and remember he's still years away from his peak.
They're on another level!
thistoday match ala djokovic vs nadal AO 2012 MATCH is only in the night session or in good coundition possible but not in extreme heat like until 4-2 in the second set...if we wont see a us open classic then the us open final must in the night session started
Alcaraz should thank God for this defeat, it could be a win easily but if he won that second set he wouldn't learn much, and for a player his ambitions Cincinnati should be only a test and warming up for US Open... With that being said I guarantee this 3rd set would improve his game on hard court by miles, and if he wins US Open by defeating Novak on that way I will be 100% sure thats because of this match and that 3rd set cause Alcaraz is the best learner in tennis I've ever seen. Hes like an Artificial Inteligence, Novak shouldn't have given him so much material to learn from.
Wonderful both 🎉
Feel the love and the respect❤❤❤❤❤❤ who fills a full stadium to watch him practice. it doesn't get any better than this????
Nole mi te volimo❤🎉🌟👑🎾🇷🇸
kudos to both players for going the distance!
Just incredible! Absolutely incredible. Novak: you’re badass. Carlos: you’re my hero.
lol
Serve and vollley was awesome!
Wow he remembers all the details of the game
Insane match - they didnt ask Carlos about when he lost the match though - when he took a mental vacation serving at 4-3 in the second. If you have a chance to kill the king, you best kill him when you have the chance.
