Alcaraz needs to serve a lot better. He is giving Djokovic a lot of 2nd serves.

Alcaraz needs to serve a lot better. He is giving Djokovic a lot of 2nd serves.

He’s serving at 48%.

 

[rafanoy1992]

He’s serving at 48%.

He has great variety on his serve but needs to have higher percentage on his 1st serve.

Also, he is too eager right now.

Djokovic breaks back, Alcaraz spraying a lot of errors right now.

This match reminds me of the Nadal-Alcaraz IW match.

Alcaraz was blasting Nadal around the court, however, Alcaraz 1st serve let him down and spraying a lot of errors.

Alcaraz needs to be a little bit more patient right now.

The Kid's serve at times lets him down, something he has to improve going forward

 

[kskate2]

He’s serving at 48%.

less than 50% is not gonna get it done against one of the best returners even though he is short on matches

 

[Jelenafan]

In tennis it’s so much about individual match-ups.

As of now I would say Alcaraz greatest weakness is his service game while one of Djokovic greatest strengths is his return of serve.

^1st and 2nd serve points won tell the tale.

 

[tented]

A legendary Djokovic’ed overhead.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Novak and his over head smash lol!

 

[kskate2]

Trademark Djoke smash is netted.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The Kid got Novak off balanced in that point...good to see

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Love service game from the Kid well done..he has to strike early so he can get through the defences of Novak

 

[tented]

Alcaraz needs to be a little bit more patient right now.

I agree. He should take a page out of Rafa’s book, and think more in terms of extending points and getting Novak to run around.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great drop volley from The Kid....Novak had no idea it was coming

 

[kskate2]

Goodall: Oh yes, Dr. Feelgood in the hizzou!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The Kid with his drop shots and Novak is not a happy camper at present

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

The Kid has to return better on the deuce court ....Novak is having a field day on the deuce court with his serve
