    Predicted straight sets before the match and won’t be surprised if that’s the outcome. Alcaraz’s lack of experience on grass and with the lower bounce was the difference in that first set.

    I'm tempted to switch it off when he goes 2-0 up hasn't been a good match at all

    I switch off when the cameras cut to the assorted ‘film stars’ and other famous numpties who simply MUST be seen at the Wimbledon final…

    I wonder if they all queued to get in?

    Alcaraz had his chance there.

    This set is ridiculous. The level of tennis when the final comes around is always another level.

    Nah. You don’t see shots like that winner there in a pressure situation like this. Its far different.

    A set then immediately a break. The game is turning.

    Soon Novak will be asking for a bathroom break so he can drink his 'Magic' juice there.....Watch this space.

    If Alcaraz holds his nerve, he will win this. Looks too powerful for Djokovic.

    Momentum with Alcaraz but Djokovic’s experience will ensure he won’t be panicking.

    Did someone ring a bell as Djokovic went to serve there?

    Alcaraz dug in well there.
