HIGHLIGHTS | Novak Djokovic vs. Carlos Alcaraz (Riyadh Season Tennis Cup)

He's been training about how to deal with that and how to better length himself. Certainly got himself forward there. What a first game from Carlos Alcaraz. Lays down an early marker here as he breaks the Novak Djokovic serve. And again there going into space sets up an early back point. Excellent arm and mouth pressure in the game. Oh it's astounding. And this is the weaker side to return off of and that is an absolute peach cross court. The wizard as well. Well after a little bit of a slow start Novak Djokovic certainly got going. And just like we saw in the opening set Djokovic in a bit of trouble in his opening service game. Chance then for Alcaraz. And it's a chance he takes. A bit of deja vu. The first serve it doesn't matter against this guy. A Djokovic special both with the return and the celebration. Another good hold. Very special but Djokovic was ready for it. It's a ripper of a backhand but it was gettable for Djokovic. And I think it might have surprised Alcaraz. Well it did. Alcaraz lost his concentration, his focus. I mean watch the replay on this. This is beautifully struck and look at the slide there from Novak. Stays down and Alcaraz is just surprised by the getting how low he kept that ball. Sets up two set points to level this at one set apiece. Well we asked the question could Carlos Alcaraz respond in set two? Just given us the answer. In fact superb set of tennis from the world number two. Oh but it's how many twists and turns in this one. It's been a real treat. Alcaraz looking to end it here. Serving for the match. Djokovic should have made that forehand. Surprised how much time he had on the ball here. There with plenty of time. Could have done more with this. This is the one he'll be ruining. He should have made. Closed out. Astonishingly well did Carlos Alcaraz. Nice call so far in this game. Look at the balance, the composure, the posture and the accuracy. Cup champion. What a performance from the Spaniard against the Serb. It's sweet revenge for Carlitos here in Riyadh. Gets the better of Novak Djokovic on three sets. 4-6, 6-4, 6-4.
