Unexpected blow of effect. The match of the year. The Roland Garros final had the least expected ending. Novak Djokovic qualified for the semifinals by beating Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1, 6-1. No one can know what would have happened if the injury of the player from Murcia had not broken a spectacular and exciting match until that moment. Djokovic will be in the final again this Sunday. The seventh and, so far, two titles 2016 and 2021.
“I feel sorry for Carlos. He is an unbelievable player. The match had been tough in the first two sets, then he changed everything. I’m sure he will come back and win this tournament,” said the Serbian tennis player on the court. He knows he still has one last step left. “This is not over. There is another match left but I am happy to play another final again. I hope to give the best of my level this Sunday and win the title.”
“The match was broken at 6-3, 5-7 and 1-1 on the scoreboard Alcaraz suffered an injury to his left leg after a run. He stood still, pinned, on the court, not moving and asked for immediate medical attention. His decision cost him the loss of the game because according to the rules you can’t ask for attention until you change fields. The public booed the chair umpire. Alcaraz limped off to his chair.
Alcaraz held on the court without much explanation. Djokovic did not miss his chance. He did not lose a single game, although his celebrations for a point he won, were not in keeping with the moment, nor the situation. It cost him the booing of the spectators who were still in the Phillippe Chatrier and cheered Alcaraz, every time he won a point and when he won a game, the only one since his injury.
