This is a match that tennis fans around the world have been waiting for a long time. The confrontation between two generations of tennis in the world when Alcaraz represents the young players who are expected to dominate tennis in the future, while Djokovic is considered a legend. With 22 Grand Slam titles, Djokovic has made a famous name and together with Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, has dominated the tennis world for two decades.
Djokovic showed more experience and courage than the world's number 1 tennis player.
As soon as the match started, Djokovic showed his experience by breaking the world number 1's serve early to take a 3/1 lead. With this advantage, the 36-year-old Serbian won the first set with a score of 6/3. The second set was considered the best set of the "early final" when Alcaraz was determined to fight back strongly.
With powerful shots and incredible movement on the clay, the 20-year-old Spaniard put Djokovic on the defensive. However, the former world No. 1 still showed his mettle and experience to cling to the score of 5/5. With accurate and powerful shots, Alcaraz finally won the game with a score of 7/5.
Alcaraz's mobility is very good.
At this point, Djokovic fans began to worry as the young Alcaraz was in high spirits, but unexpectedly the world No. 1 suffered an injury after a hit at the beginning of the third set. This injury left Alcaraz limping on the court, so it was not too difficult for Djokovic to easily win two consecutive sets with a score of 6/1.
With this victory, Djokovic advances to the final of the French Open for the seventh time and also the final of the Grand Slam of his career 34. However, most importantly, Djokovic is determined to create a record by becoming the first male tennis player in the world to win 23 Grand Slam titles. Currently, the Serbian tennis player and Nadal share the record of 22 titles.
Alcaraz still cannot prove his strength against veteran Djokovic
Djokovic's final opponent will be the winner of the other semi-final between Casper Ruud (Norway, 4) and Alexander Zverev (Germany, 22).
