Go see the new 'hot boy' Alcaraz fall before the world tennis icon Djokovic

Dream Final

The road from Porte d'Auteuil train station to Roland Garros tennis court is just over 1 km long, although the Olympic men's singles final between two attractive names Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz will not take place until 2 pm (French time), but all the alleys leading to it were packed 3-4 hours in advance.

When we arrived, there were already rows and rows of people waiting, as crowded as a festival. The police had added more patrol vehicles and set up more security checkpoints, the heat was not cooling down at all. Fans were eagerly awaiting the dream final between the two best names at the moment. Especially since this was the first time they met in a medal match on clay.

Audience supports Djokovic

More than 2 months ago, at this same court, the 21-year-old Spanish player won the championship. Alcaraz then defeated Djokovic at Wimbledon not just once but twice in a row in the finals, but on the clay court, the "hot boy" considered Nadal's descendant could not defeat the Serbian player.

Even in the semi-finals of the 2023 French Open, Alcaraz lost 1-3 to Djokovic. That's why the Olympic final on the afternoon of August 4 created a fierce attraction. The audience wanted to see if Alacaraz was worthy of asserting his progress against his senior. Or if Djokovic, who is past the peak of his career, would repeat the feat of defeating the new idol of world tennis!

Alcaraz was disappointed after a hit, but Djokovic was very calm.

The audience at Roland Garros Center Stadium was beyond imagination. The stadium's capacity of 15,000 people seemed insufficient when there were still many people outside who could not get in. Even the press had to register in advance to be allowed to enter the stadium to work, because without an additional card from the Organizing Committee, they would have to stay outside. Luckily, thanks to early contact, we were able to enter the stadium, while many other colleagues were stunned and regretful because they arrived at the stadium only to find out they could not enter. The atmosphere inside the stadium was unspeakable as most of the audience had a lot of affection for Djokovic and continuously cheered him on after each hit. Everyone shouted "Nole" like thunder. Especially when they learned that this tennis player had suffered a torn meniscus injury, they gave even more words of encouragement and support, hoping that he would have a perfect victory.

High concentration helps Djokovic play well

Djokovic is very focused on every shot

QT

It is hard to imagine that at the age of 37, his career has already passed its peak, but Novak Djokovic played as enthusiastically as when he was young. Partly, he received applause from the audience as an extra motivation, partly because the Spanish talent was 16 years younger than him, quick as a squirrel, had extremely powerful attacks, and especially liked to "drop" to break his strength, the Serbian tennis player still showed his steadfastness. With his experience, Djokovic took the initiative not to lose serve in each game. At times, he was pressured by Alcaraz, creating dramatic moments of tug-of-war for each point, but Djokovic was not shaken and the more he played, the more the audience kept sobbing as if remembering his golden age.

Alcaraz is always very powerful in the backcourt.

And there is also a coaching staff in the stands constantly giving advice.

Two wins with a score of 7/6 were enough to show Novak Djokovic's mettle against a very strong opponent. He dominated his opponent with a calm demeanor and many spectacular shots. Despite Alcaraz playing well and closely following him in both games, the audience stood up many times in excitement when Djokovic returned serves and hit the two sides at full speed, ready to exchange attacks with excitement. His resilience and calmness contributed to Nole's success.

The audience continuously applauded for both players.

16 years to get the title

Alcaraz is participating in the Olympics for the first time but he has not been able to win the first major tournament. This is similar to Djokovic 16 years ago when he first came to the 2008 Olympics. This is the Olympics, a completely different playing field compared to the Grand Slam with shorter playing time, the game is limited to playing 3 sets, winning 2, not lasting 5 sets like in the French Open or Wimbledon. It is different from the way Alcaraz fought back to win 3-2 against Alecxander Zverev in the final more than 2 months ago, also at Roland Garros. Therefore, just one mistake or bad luck at the start makes it very difficult to turn the situation around because the pressure will be greater.

Djokovic's brilliant play

QT

This was also a sad ending for the Spanish tennis player. Before the final, he told the audience that he would try to win to send a message to Rafael Nadal, the senior who had a great influence on his career, who was unlucky to be eliminated early by Djokovic in the second round of the Olympics. Alcaraz also wanted to win to share the joy of this title with Nadal because he had previously disappointed the former 2008 Olympic champion when they were paired together and lost in the men's doubles quarterfinals to the American pair Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram. But Alcaraz could not do it.

And a spectacular save

QT

Djokovic has had too much experience in previous failures due to poor form or lack of concentration that led to falling into difficult situations. But this time, the Serbian tennis player responded to the audience's affection when winning the Olympic gold medal amid loud cheers from the audience. Simply because he had taken care of the Olympics, which could be the last in his career, with the determination not to give up. Moreover, with the Olympics also being the national flag, the Serbian tennis player made double efforts to make history and win another gold medal for the country.

Djokovic's familiar way of celebrating victory amid the excitement of the audience

QT

Almost no one in the audience wanted to leave the field, they stood up to applaud and stayed for a long time when they saw Djokovic make history. He became the second tennis player in the world after Andre Agassi to win 4 Grand Slams, ATP Finals and Olympics.
