Before winning the match in the Trebreak of the final set, Nole took 5-4 and had four match poins before being able to close it. For this reason, the celebration and relief of the native of Belgrade was in everyone’s memory.

With this context, upon receiving the trophy, Djokovic had declared: “Chico, never give up. Jesus Christ … that is, I love that of you, but, you know, sometimes I would like you to play some points only like this (Nder: with the head of the gacha) “. To which Alcaraz responded instantly, laughing:”I am Spanish“

“The Spaniards never die. I have heard that before, you know? Or I have experienced this before“Novak closed, referring to his clashes with Rafael Nadal.
