    For Djok. Alcatraz is hitting the ball like no tomorrow. He was slightly tentative in the first set, but his tennis imagination is set free now.
    Meds is toast, and Djok is next.

    It is Friday now. The final will be played on Sunday.

    It is quite common that your performance level can
    vary quite a lot on different days. Playing great
    now is no guarantee that the final will be similar.

    The final will be more demanding because you will
    play against the superhuman Djoker, and because
    the final is just a bigger occasion than the semifinal.

    I refuse to make any predictions about the champion.

    LOL - if Alcaraz even comes close to winning a single set, I will be shocked. Djoker in 3 easy sets...

    Agreed. On the surface which most favours Alcaraz in this match up the effort of winning a set broke him. At Wimbledon he doesn’t stand a chance.
