Interesting. Maybe Rune? Who knows really. Hard to tell.

Shame that's how it ended - thought Alcaraz was playing the better tennis in the 2nd and 3rd set (before the injury). Djokovic looked laboured and Alcaraz was using the drop shot extremely well. Looked like he was just overwhelming Novak with his power. There was still plenty of tennis left but I would have had him winning this match and the final if that cramp didn't happen

Novak could get 26-28 but think that’s it. Assuming he gets Wimbledon a few times

Yeah good call on Rune he’s a brat but a fantastic player
Credit to the kid for toughing it out stuff that makes great champions

Even while cramped he looked half decent.
I was worried that he may have a Thiem issue who has not been the same for years.

Just needs slams to be BO3....
But in all seriousness, surely his team need to work on preparations/hydration before matches because yes it was a tough day and it was intense tennis but that's not what happens to a champion.
He's still young

I think Novak will probably win the next 2 FO’s before retiring. For some reason I just cannot see Nadal returning even though he intends to. I will be surprised if he does.

Yeah no problem very confident on that one and if she doesn’t you have to put Novak as yours lol

Ruud imo as Zverev can servebot
Ruud I say

Yeah definitely prefer him. It probably depends on conditions if it’s windy give me Zverev

Is it too late to have neither Zverev or Ruud in the final, and put Rune in there instead?

Yes it is too late and Rune has the same issue he’s not there as a 5 set player yet he’s probably a year behind Alcaraz

Yeah, neither have a shot but Zverev can at least serve big while Ruud will get routined.

Zverev then. At least he will put up a fight unlike the other one.

Ruud at his best though, on clay, can play pretty incredible tennis. He was dismantling Rune in Rome before he imploded. Who‘s to say one of these days he wont redline for an entire match? Could happen.

Rudd will be a trouncing unless it’s windy as Novak always plays terribly when it’s windy.

Djokovic needs to stop telling everyone that they will win slams. From memory he also told Kyrgios at Wimbledon, and he probably has low chance if any.
