Novak is the best fucking tennis player ever to hold a racket, at the age of 36 he won everything there is to win, he even won Mount Everest, so maybe the Western media would say he is the best, I hate the West, I would rather swallow shit than say yes is the best.

Wonder how many people (myself included) thought the torch had been passed at Wimbledon. But I don't think enough folks gave Novak his due. Tied at a set apiece, then Carlos dominating the third set, you had to figure Djokovic wouldn't have enough left to do anything in the fourth, yet he did, and the match went to set 5 before Alcaraz prevailed. And now, here at Cincinnati, Novak says, just a minute, I'm still here and wins an epic showdown between age-wisdom and youth-firepower. US Open is going to be one for the ages...whether you're 20 or 36.

[@heizeking3557]

Roger Federer at 20 would have lost to Carlos Alcaraz. Djokovic too, would have lost with Carlos Alcaraz at his same age. Pete Sampras at 36 you can bet house he would also lost by a great margin vs Djokovic at his same age, so you cannot compare Sampras with Djokovic at 36. This is why Carlos Alcaraz is so good. Nadal at 20 vs Alcaraz, I do not know. Nadal was impressive at 20. Then, since very early Nadal always had to suffer great pain from his permanent foot injury and still is one of the three goats but at 20 free of injury he had won more Master 1000 than anyone. So we will not know if Alcaraz could have won Nadal at his same age, when he was still free of that foot injury. Still, Alcaraz game is more complete than 20 years old Nadal's

Great match between the 2 clearly best players in the world -- the GOAT against the insanely good kid. But for me it was spoiled by my conviction that Novak is a fake, and did here what he has done numerous times before. When he starts losing, he suddenly is ill, and as soon as he starts winning, his illness magically disappears.Yyou can go back and check this all on the tape. Yes, he was clearly suffering from heat exhaustion, but I think it was way overdone. First of all, he started losing before showing any sign of a problem, but the second he was broken, he put his hands on his forehead as if he was suffering terribly and screamed to his team to get his pills ready. Then, in set 2, he suckered Alcaraz into believing he was dead, and the announcer didn't stop talking about how he might have to retire. Clearly, Carlos started letting up, either because he lost focus, or because he felt uncomfortable playing to hard against a "dying" man. and he was broken based on his own loose errors. As soon as he was broken, Novak suddenly started running around and displayed not a single expression of pain. Until suddenly, in the tiebreaker, the second Carlos went ahead, his hands went back to his forehead and he started grimacing, to protect himself in case he lost. I respect him for his incredible talent, willpower and insane achievements. But I'm sorry, I hate a faker. I think that is why Carlos was so broken by the loss, but I am sure he will learn from this never to be suckered in again.

Cant agree with you more - Federer never did that. Alcaraz was clearly perturbed by this pause in the game, Novak definitely stalled the momentum of Alcaraz.

[@arunraju9705]

And, Federer did this kinda thing, aways finished the match no matter what. Never "acted" his way to a victory. I expect a lot better from Nole, but here we are.

There's a sucker born every minute!! Welcome to the mind games of tennis! LOVE IT!!

@lsmsrt You are one “smart” cookie. Totally agree with everything you said about Djokovic. I’ve been watching him for years and I’ve come to the same conclusion each time he’s behind in a match but he couldn’t do it to Alcaraz at Wimbledon with the whole world watching that’s why he smashed his racket in the final set when he was broken. He definitely had heatstroke but pushed it to the limit with the umpire and those two timeouts. Personally I feel you should only be allowed one toilet break and that’s it. The rules need to be changed regarding this. Funny how in the third set he comes back to life as if nothing happened. Carlitos and his team will learn from this and the other players on the tour need to up their game against this old man of tennis. Carlitos is the only one who can stay with him and beat him.

🧂🧂🧂😪😪😪 He took some pills to help with the headache/ dehydration etc. Of course you'd expect him to improve especially as the sun was going down and the court being fully in shade and him figuring out Alcaraz game. Djokovic overcame by sheer force of will not be taking some mid set breaks.

[@cloudman8911]

Novak didn t play well. He is always very hesitant from the baseline and tries to defend. Novak s backhand down the line is gone. Novak using slice so many times only helps his opponents. Novak did more unforced errors than winners.

[@nirvasimeon6880]

Novak pull all the tricks to slow down Alcaraz momentum: bathroom break, medical timeout, making all the faces, but somehow stays in the game... when Alcaraz didn't feel well in Roland Garros, he only won 2 out of 12 games. Hope he doesn't fall for Djokovic's unportsmanship behaviors next time. We are proud of you Alcaraz❤❤

[@alextabet9247]

Excuses I see.

[@Bileca-ob3sf]

Someone cried today.

[@sonicmoj1]

CA slams his racket or hand and no one makes a whisper. You all think CA is some church boy. What a fucken load of shit!! He has emotion just like Djokovic and shows it. Did you miss his racket smash against Tommy Paul in Toronto. Damn fuckers! Only want to highlight what they want to highlight. Just a piss poor dumbass laziness bitching.. man oh man!!

[@arunraju9705]

@@alextabet9247 Absolutely not!

[@WeightlossWomenMotivation]

Dont be an idiot ... Alcaraz took MTO too ... Novak wasnt well you could see his face turn red from the Heat deffinitely and sugar level droped .. but he is the GOAT ofc he fights till the end

[@lukacalov1988]

Bruh this match was bellow average Same crap you said after their wimbledon match which was poor quality

[@peachman5698]

I agree that Wimpy was not great as far as the level throughout....But this was pretty consistent the entire 4 hrs

[@chittaranjanpramanik8957]

I don't think Novak was amazing. I don't think it is anyway a revenge by Novak since it was a three setter. A five setter is a different ball game. But it was a well contested, amazing match. Ball for ball. God bless both.

[@verom6696]

Why Djokovic had 2 toilet breaks in a match in 3 sets. The tennis rule is 1 break in a match in 3 sets and 2 in a match in 5 sets.

[@fg92626]

I wish you must withdraw your urine for 3+1/2 hour 😂

[@verom6696]

The rules are the same for everyone and if he has a prostate problem, he has to retire.@@fg92626

[@raviteja9665]

Novak spending 6 minutes in AC after that 2nd set is a crime, what the heck the chair umpire was doing? Ridiculous

[@timmy9985638678]

Andy summed it up perfectly - Nole is an absolute specimen and prototype of one of its kind
