For those who do not know, Alcaraz has broken a new record and he has done so in this Wimbledon 2024, he is the player who has made the most winners in the history of this tournament... 319 WINNERS!!! 😱😱😱😱😱 😉😎👍
Does not make sense! He only played a few Wimbledon championships. If it is the most winners per tournament at Wimbledon (e.g., per year), then it would make more sense.
@@shinichihoang And how is Alcaraz going to beat Djokovic if he doesn't have Djokovic's experience or veterinary skills on grass? And on top of that, twice in a row... That doesn't make sense either... Well, that's right... That would give an idea of what Alcaraz is and will be at Wimbledon. Could we be facing the real king of Wimbledon? 🤯🤔
Yes, because of his records with tiebreakers. And these people can't gauge that the tiebreakers were given away by Alcaraz, just as he gifted the sets to Tiafoe, and the match to Jack Draper
@@ROYAL_REBELJust one like by now for your comment, while those malicious and/or stupid ones got much more... It tells about people on internet. Clever comment with good arguments, which obviously shut up some mean and falce claims.
I thought Djokovic could win that Tiebreaker and ultimately the game...but not against this 21 years old special talent. All credits to Alcaraz. WHAT a skill..WHAT a speed!
Alcaraz is an incredible talent and a future all time great, if not already. That said, any unbiased tennis fan watching can see this result was more about Djokovic’s performance than Alcaraz. Alcaraz played no better than last Wimbledon final, the difference was that Djokovic this match had no business even being in the final. In this game alone, look at the basic rally balls and volleys Djokovic was missing. Combine that with the fact his movement was poor, this match could only end one way. Father Time is undefeated and it’s time for Novak to step aside for the young guns to take over.
@@ryanjones7712 Hahahaha. He played better than last year's Wimbledon. His serve has improved MASSIVELY; he doesn't chase balls like he used to. His movements are cleaner and more refined. In fact, he didn't give his 100% during the match. WHY? Because Djokovic is declining due to age, Sinner is the only tennis player that could beat him. Alcaraz & Sinner push each other to be better players and tennis benefits from this rivalry. Although Sinner has lost twice to Alcaraz this year, the Italian will find ways to beat him, especially on fast courts. These two are the best players in the world right now.
@@ROYAL_REBELLast year, he rolled through everyone mostly until the final. This year, he got taken to 5 sets by Tiafoe 🤣 and then lost a set to Medvedev and others. He was not that great this tournament, compared to last year. The main difference in the final was that his opponent put up 0 resistance. Yes, Alcaraz serve improved but he only served 59% first serve. His serve was overrated because Novak’s returning was terrible. Just look at him! Novak had no business even being there, it was a terrible performance. Maybe it was his knee or maybe he just declined so much in the past months, but this Novak looked hopeless out there. Last year’s Novak would’ve taken this to 5, easily. It’s easy to look good when your opponent can barely even move properly
This first game of this match reminded me of the 25-minute game in the third set of the previous year's final. Alcaraz was already up a break and he kept grinding to make it two breaks up and take the third set. Djokovic won the fourth set and then Alcaraz won the decider, and the rest is history.
This long deuce game was a sequel to last year's epic 26 minute deuce game in the 5th game of the 3rd set. Both of these titanic deuce games were won by Alcaraz to eventually break Novak's serve, and both ended up deciding the outcome of both finals.
It definitely changed the direction of the match. The long game tired him out and also a mental blow after all that break-point saving effort, as it put him behind the eight-ball for the rest of the match. He didn't recover after this game and Carlos just got more and more free and clear and patient with his gameplan. That 3rd set re-break was more of a choke/gift rather than a comeback, but Carlos did well to re-focus to finish it off in a tiebreak.
i have a feeling Carlos wanted to send a message like he did in set 3 last year. there is no guarantee he would have broken, but people don't talk about his return of serve enough. he reads Novak's serve extremely well. even in the ATP finals last year, he was locked in on return initially but not used to the speed and bounce. he will improve even more indoors. just a matter of time.
That is a fantastic point about Carlos' return of serve in this Final! Carlos actually out-returned the greatest returner in Tennis history!! 😙😙 The BBC stats at one point showed Carlos scoring 9.1 out of 10 in returning Nole's serve!!..This is unprecedented by an opponent at Wimbledon against him....certainly to my memory anyway?? The scariest thing about Carlitos, is that at 21 he is already way better & more complete than Nole; Roger, and Rafa were at the exact same age!!! 😱😱😱 His coach Juan Carlos Ferrero said this time last year that we had only seen Carlos at 60% of his potential!!! Maybe we saw Carlos at 70 - 75% in this Final...Imagine if Carlos was to reach 95%!!!!! 😱😱😱😱 Food for MIND-BLOWING thought huh!!!
@@hicm1of124 thats right. excellent point about his returns. it is frightening to think how good he can be at his highest level. this was 70% Alcaraz in my opinion. and he will improve
@@hicm1of124 By that weird percentage I suppose most tennis players only reach 10-20% of their true potential (if they played day/night almost every day with the best tennis coaches and fitness etc)
@@mitsuhh well there are two parts to this. The physical peak level is usually 4-6 years after pros start their careers (at least for Roger, Rafa, Novak in 2005, 2010 and 2011 respectively. However the process of improvement is lifelong as all of them proved over twenty years or close to it. Using this benchmark Alcaraz should hit his peak physical level in 2027 or so. And improve his tennis both before and after that.
Yes, apart from 40-0, got broken, and any other player would have buckled, and lost that set, and perhaps the match- with Djokovic, he's never done till he's done, even if he's on one leg and an arm.
@@aswinsoundararajan2221 actually yes, and his strokes (first strike shots) were potent but Alcaraz was lightning and getting everything back plus . exactly what a younger novak used to do to opponents
Jeste,samo što nema konkurenciju,jedino djokovic koji je starac za tenis i sport uopšte mu je konkurencija sada,a djokovic je vladao tenisom dok su igrali još dva najbolja igrača RF i RN i još njih nekoliko Marey,Del Potro,Ferer,wawrinka...... ! Tako da se ne može uporediti Alkarazov uspeh sa Djokovicevim.
Based on his post match comments on Friday, Nole did not sound too confident about his chances vs Carlos. And whatever confidence he had, most of it left him after this opening game
Missed first serves, 4 unforced errors and the tactic to serve and volley and go for too much cost Djokovic this game. Smart tactic by Alcaraz as he chose to receive after winning the toss. He went for it and played perfectly in this game. Djoko had the right strategy to be more aggressive but perhaps he should have done that on Alcaraz's serve not his own as it backfired in this first game.
Tennis players' prime comes around 26 to 28 years of age. So Carlos is far from his prime. Watch for him in 5 years. Total ATP field annihilation (if he continues to improve and doesn't have career disturbing injury of course).
In this very 1st game of this much anticipated Wimbledon final - Alcaraz showed his game and clear intentions ~ to simply crush the 24 times grand slam winner and the greatest in tennis and win his break over Novak with no delays! 😳😨
Really telling - this first game was played like it was to determine the winner overall for both For Alceraz, I guess it did - he stamped his orthority on I things right from that first game
@@pawshands9706yes, exactly. Alcaraz draw was much tougher but it primed him and he was more than ready. novaks draw didn't help him. especially the deminaur walkover. he was in a way lucky to reach the final.
@@maximus1530You read my mind. I've been saying the same thing too. No one who just under went a knee surgery could never ever move around like that in 2wks. I'm speaking from personal experience. Moreover it would be the hardest thing for him to serve.
People should not forget, when singing Alceraz s praise s - we also MUST acknowledge his team - Carlos Ferrer and co - who ve nurchered & guided him to all his biggest victory s Just think back on his quarter final loss to Djokovic in the 2023 French open; in that match he was out foxed and out smarted by a vastly more experienced player; and he cooked himself accordingly. But 5 weeks later, his team made the necessary adjustments to he and his game - he has NEVER lost to Djokovic at any grandslam tournament since !! His team deserves due credit
The fact that Carlos chose to receive even tho he won the toss, and then end up breaking Djokovic, is amazing to me. This game really set the tone for the whole match.
Djokovic stalling yet again with the serve! Must have bounced the ball twenty times on average. Good for Alcaraz, showing such patience and not getting rattled.
@@astrahcat1212 I would like to have a time machine to bring back all the tennis legends that have existed throughout history with Alcaraz, Sinner and also Medvedev and of course with the Big Four and I would also add great players like Wawrinka, Stich, Haas, Berdych, Korda(Petr), Del Potro, Gonzalez, Nalbandian and Thiem... A tournament where only those great players and especially the legends could play... I would like to know who would win in that tournament? 🤔🤔🤔
Seems like Djokovic is not playing up to his full potential or maybe alcaraz energy was too much that Djokovic seemed to me like that but yes now it's time for the young generation to take over
Never before someone give Jokovic a nightmare in his first Service game. I thought its another 26 minutes deuce games and 32 points spent by Novak in his game and still lost it to Carlos last year.😂
@@jvillebil13 those permutations are a waste of time, we will just never know. All I know is it is the impact and influence of what the big 3 brought to the tour that created a monster like Alcaraz, a student of the game. Very calm and not even fazed like continue, Ari kutoti this time hazvibude ...
... Very calm and composed, a student of the game, born out of the legendary output of the big 3, and destined to be greater while being pushed by Sinner. So it's pointless to imagine them all at 20 with the big 3 because the other variables removed are an important part of the story of greatness
Might be a silly question, but is there a way to watch this broadcast in the states? I watched the full match on ESPN but I prefer this broadcast. The camera work, sound quality, picture quality and commentary is nicer on this one
That guy has depressive monotones and 1 guy worse would be murray (as hed put anyone to sleep). I was hoping kyrgios would retire frim tennis and bugger off the game completely and not commentate. Lucky for us we watched the match with other commentators
This should put a firm end to Djok's boring as fk domination of a decade. Under his influence, young gen, like Agut, probably didn't even know that they are allowed to apparoch the net. Alacaraz's net game is close to Federer already at this age, and like hell the net is gonna favor Djok
Perhaps if djokovic didnt break his first point .. the whole match would be different result ..just saying... congratulations for alcaraz .. he deserved it ..
@@agungs8564 last year Wimbledon was not close to his best. He was 36 years old and played OK in the final, at best. This year? This is Djokovic at his worst, literally his worst ever ATP season. Not even Djokovic at this point, he only used his experience and guile to make the final.
