Djokovic & Alcaraz React To Their Crazy Cincinnati Final Meeting! | Cincinnati 2023 

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.

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.

Carlos "I AM SPEED" Alcaraz 😂

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😊😊😊

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

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

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.. 😅😅😅

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.

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.

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.

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. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B6UPa4l4Xns.html Rogers era of competition was far weaker then Novaks. Simply look at the facts. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--dp2JgqvHVYI.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.

@@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.

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.

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..

Yess!!

❤❤❤❤

If medvedev and novak is in same draw, carlos wins it 100%

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.

❤❤❤❤❤

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

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.

❤❤❤

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

Gojo is stronger than Sukuna

@@Srbenda126 djokovic is sukuna since hes old? Or he is gojo coz hes better?

​@@TuanTran-qq6zsBullshit from a hater and jealous guy...???

Ovo je prvi Novakov mec koji nisam odgledao do kraja, rekao sam izgubio je, to je to i legao.

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 ❤

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.

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

IDEMOOOOO NOLE MAJSTOREEEEE

VLASTA IZ SUTOMORA SMO MONTENEGROOOOO IDEMOOOOO

👋 ja sam in Novog Sada, ali živim na Sejšelima. Pozdrav 💪💪

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.

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.

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.

lol

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.
