Djokovic is the GOAT. He should be the favorite. Against a player of Alcaraz's caliber Djokovic will have to turn it up full blast, but I think he'll prevail. Match of the year so far. Can't wait.

He's just too much similar to Nadal, and Djokovic has played against Nadal his entire life, he has the game to counter Alcaraz.
Of course, Alcaraz is the favourite and may win easily as he's likely a better player in terms of rankings, youth, clay surface, they're only tied in terms of ATG status which is near certain for Alcaraz.
But he's an improved version of Nadal in some ways, and an inferior version in some ways. He's not a leftie for example. Djokovic still has better serve and return.
And Alcaraz doesn't hit as strong on both wings, and is prone to drop shots. While that is a good thing, generally, as it showcases his versatility, I have a feeling he won't play to crush Djokovic, like wawrinka does, but to outplay him, outfox him or

Sure Djokovic has lots of experience but I don't see Djokovic being able to do anything better than alcaraz. Alcaraz is insane.
It's funny, Alcaraz chooses not to hit strong serves, but when it got tight he hit two aces one of them at 137mph.
His pace and defense is insane, and his ability to muscle winners on the run from far behind the baseline is unparalleled.
Djokovic will try to narrow the speed and intensity differences by staying far back, and Alcaraz will abuse him dropshots.
Of course, I wouldn't be very surprised to see djok finding ways to win but Alcaraz is the favourite with clear margins.

I would give Alcaraz a 60/40 advantage. They played only once before in a very close match at Madrid last year which Alcaraz won. Djok's best chance is to make it a slugfest, if he can. It means he would have to serve very well.

Really looking forward to this. Djoker is the real no.1 in terms of
points he shoulda got at Wimbledon, but I think Carlos is no.1 in terms
of tennis ability right now. It should be a very high quality as both
guys have a valid excuse for losing so will play without huge pressure
imo. Can Carlos hit enough winners to overwhelm Djoker's defense? Yes
I think he can and will, but wouldn't bet a lot of money on it. It also wouldn't be a great surprise to see Djoker winning in the end.

Yes. That's about how I see it.
