Alcaraz came into the semifinals after defeating Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals. He became the first teenager to win against Rafael Nadal on Clay, and he has been phenomenal this year. The same can’t be said about Novak Djokovic. First, he was not able to compete in the Australian Open, and then a string of bad results haunted him.
But as expected of Djokovic, he came back with a great run in Serbia Open 2022. He also had a great run in Madrid as he breezed past Gael Monfils and Hubert Hurkacz, while Andy Murray had to withdraw, giving Djokovic a walkover into the quarterfinals. Djokovic got a tough test in the form of a pumped-up and high-flying Carlos Alcaraz.
