He has beaten Djoker after beating Nadal last year. He looked like he was getting the upper hand even in the set he lost to Novack in Roland Garros. Djoker was worried there. Alcaraz has improved by leaps and bounds on grass, here and equally as much at Indian Wells. Those weapons he has added are big. The back hand howitzer that ends the point before it begins is big to open a break door. He has that insane wide serve to the ad court for a free point as well. Lobs and drop shots will be big. I have a feeling Djokovic will let those go which if he does too much could tip the scales. Here is the thing. Djokovic wins because he opens the court up, forces you to move. Looks for angles. That might be to Alcaraz's advantage because he enjoys the scramble. Can't do too much of that. Just play your game. Pick up points. End points fast if you can. The drop is huge here to conserve energy by not hitting that heavy shot and getting the other guy to move. I have it 6-4,7-6, 6-3 Alcaraz. He is just a big powerful swarm it seems. He cramped because he is big and has a lot of torque and power. That could well happen again. Djoker might have been lucky at Roland Garros in that first set. For him to muster those 2 games after the cramps, in the fourth and fifth sets is what I look at. They mean a lot. 2 Reply
