Damn it! I see that I have put Đoković and Alcaraz to fight in the finals in the Q9.
I found this odd when I last checked because these two were on the same branch and were never going to meet in the final, but sh*t happens. But for you to survive this one is if Djokovic comes up with an upset using some old tricks that come with experience of the game as his still rusty but still a threat.This is for sure is an upset according to bookies and the seedings, but the scores and score line suggest completely otherwise, Alcaraz was completely neutralize, I mean losing 6-3, 6-1, 6-1 from just for 4 sets of play is way short of the expectations of the match, especially if Djokovic is to be returned as the winner of the match up, he showed us how much of a veteran he still is, can either Rude vs Zverev stop him now, I guess not!
Indeed but Djokovic's performance was outstanding. I went for Alcaraz on this one and a lot of others did as well, but even when you neglect the physical issue of Alcaraz, I asked myself after seeing Djokovic playing for a while in this game why I didn't choose him. He is still the dominating force in tennis no matter what the surface is. No idea how many of you watched the game, but this was clearly a game that showed how important Djokovic's experience is and how he knows to make use of it. He has his mind under full control from the first till the last game. Respect for that and he quickly realized that Alcaraz won't give up on a single point even when Djokovic sends him from corner to corner all the time. Most players get tired and start making mistakes themselves, but Djokovic didn't. He is in top shape and after that game I have no clue who should stop him in Paris. That is a mission impossible.
Once again I am interested in joining and very curious.
