Novak Djokovic triumphs in Cincinnati Open thriller against Carlos Alcaraz
Djokovic showed his undying commitment by overcoming suffocating heat and a match point to defeat world number one Carlos Alcaraz at the Cincinnati Open. After a nearly four-hour epic on Sunday, Djokovic emerged triumphant with a scoreline of 5-7, 7-6(7), 7-6(4). This victory was especially gratifying for Djokovic, who avenged his recent Wimbledon final loss to Alcaraz.
During the match, Djokovic struggled with the heavy humidity, which hampered his movement near the conclusion of the first set. Alcaraz took advantage of this, winning the first set with a backhand winner.
Alcaraz maintained his lead in the second set, winning 4-2. The Ohio sun appeared to have taken its toll on Djokovic. But a string of unforced errors from Alcaraz provided a lifeline for the Serbian star. Djokovic saved a championship point and forced a deciding set with a spectacular 25-shot rally in the second set tiebreak.
Djokovic’s victory marked his comeback to the United States following a two-year absence due to vaccination-related travel restrictions. His victory prepares him for his forthcoming challenge at the United States Open, where he hopes to win his 24th Grand Slam championship. The US Open will take place from August 28 through September 10.
