Tennis. APR. Cincinnati. The final. Alcaraz – Djokovic. Direct
Late Sunday night Moscow time, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will play in Cincinnati, USA for the Masters Men’s Singles title. Among the tennis players who now play regularly, the strongest will meet. In fact, the Spaniard and the Serbian occupy the top two rows of the ATP World Rankings and such a final is an ornament for any tournament.
Their last meeting took place a little over a month ago in London. Then, in the Wimbledon final, Carlos Alcaraz did not allow the legendary Serbian to win the 24th Grand Slam title. The meeting lasted almost 5 hours and the Spaniard was able to snatch victory in the fifth set (1:6, 7:6, 6:1, 3:6, 6:4). After this success, Alcaraz regained the title of No. 1 racket in the world and will continue to top the ATP rankings after the Cincinnati Masters no matter how today’s final ends.
Before the already mentioned showdown in London, Alcaraz and Djokovic faced each other twice and both times on clay. In 2022, the rivals met in the semi-finals of the Madrid Masters. Then the Spaniard took over in three sets – 6: 7, 7: 5, 7: 6. Already this year, Djokovic was able to take his revenge, defeating Alcaraz in the semi-finals of Roland Garros (6:3, 5:7, 6:1, 6:1). But after winning Wimbledon, Carlos is again in the lead in personal encounters. And today, tennis players are going to compete hard for the first time.
If we recall the performance of Alcaraz and Djokovic at the current Cincinnati Masters, a difference is obvious. Novak didn’t drop a single set in the tournament, while Carlos lost a match against his rivals in each of his matches. Does this mean that the Serb is better prepared physically? Only the game will answer this question.
