Australian Open > Benoît Maylin, after the second set won by Djokovic against Alcaraz: “A great classic. Novak who gives us the injury again, who breaks the rhythm, who waits for the opportunity, and who emerges more lively than ‘a cheetah to pounce on Carlos’ services”
John McEnroe warned us.
Strapped at the level of the left adductor following a medical time-out taken at the end of the first set (lost 6–4 heads), Novak Djokovic once again found the resources to get back to a set everywhere despite the numerous grimaces and some suspicious grips.
A great classic as our colleague Benoît Maylin says so well, given that the Serb is never as dangerous as when he seems injured.
-” Huge. Djokovic who gives us the injury again, who breaks the rhythm, who waits for the opportunity, and who emerges more lively than a cheetah to pounce on the services of Alcaraz, and take the 2 from hime set thanks to laser feedback. 1 set everywhere. A great classic. »
