    Wind is playing a big part here. Acting as a leveller in my opinion.

    Djokovic actually looking like a 36 year old for once.

    Games like that one are far more impressive in a Wimbledon final. There’s not much more pressure like it in sport and these two are playing like it’s someones back garden. The ball speed and the desire to get around the court is just a step up from the rest of the tournament. Only these two could have brought it too.

    Djokovic giving this game to get the set over I think.

    Agree to disagree, the first set was * and so was the first half of the second set, when this discussion started. And at that point there had been far better quality of tennis prior to the final.

    Going to take a monumental effort from Djokovic to win this I think. Alcaraz looks fitter, stronger and has all the momentum.

    Gamesmanship, trying to force Alcaraz to cool down. Didn't work though.

    Yeah typical of him. I think Alcaraz got it.

    Djokovic hanging in here by a thread. Big hold that though.

    The line calls aren't going for Djokovic.

    Time to move to automated line calling at all possible tournaments.

    This will still be tight, Djokovic won’t go down easily.

    Unreal stuff from Alcaraz.
