The match was incredible. Neither Novak Djokovic nor Carlos Alcaraz had an easy game and few points were easy either. One shot rarely won a point. Neither did two shots. These were not easy points to play either. Had Alcaraz or Djokovic played any other player, they likely would not have lost more than four games. Instead, the two best players in the world - Jannik Sinner is ranked No. 1 but he is not the player that Djokovic and Sinner are if the Serb and Spaniard are playing in the best form - pushed each other to greatness.
