World No. 1 Novak Djokovic showcased his prowess, defeating Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 6-2, securing a spot in his ninth ATP Finals title clash. In this Wimbledon final rematch, Djokovic, holder of an all-time record 24 men’s Grand Slam titles, capitalized on Alcaraz’s inconsistencies, vying for a seventh trophy this year.
Despite Alcaraz’s early pressure, Djokovic’s resilience and strategic play secured the first set. The 20-year-old Spaniard, aiming to become the youngest finalist since Pete Sampras in 1991, faced setbacks, including missed opportunities to break Djokovic’s serve.
In the second set, Alcaraz displayed a brief resurgence, but Djokovic maintained control, ultimately winning 6-2. Djokovic, eyeing a record seventh title, now readies himself for a title clash with Jannik Sinner, seeking revenge for a prior loss in the group stage.
Reflecting on the intense match, Djokovic praised Alcaraz as one of the most complete players he has faced, highlighting the significance of winning in two sets. “I faced a break point at the beginning, then everything changed when I managed to break, and I started to feel good. I did everything right from that moment on,” commented the 36-year-old, emphasizing the strategic turning point in the game.
