The dramatic Cincinnati Open final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz has focused attention on the reactions of fans, particularly those who favor Djokovic. Alcaraz’s brief outburst during the match has sparked debate, with Djokovic’s fans facing criticism for their reaction.

Despite taking the first set, Alcaraz fell short in a marathon match against Djokovic on a hot day in Mason, Ohio. Djokovic won the three-hour-and-49-minute fight with a 7-5, 6-7(7), 6-7(4) victory.

Djokovic was kept on his toes by Alcaraz’s strong start, but at 4-3 in the second set, Alcaraz’s performance faltered, allowing Djokovic to stage a comeback. The contrast in attitudes between the two players became clear when Alcaraz’s irritation led to him aggressively striking his bench, in stark contrast to Djokovic’s calm manner.
