Unlucky draw for both Andy and Tsitsipas. Since Andy unseeded end up one of top group of seeded player. Since Tsitsipas is top group of seeded players should avoid dangerous players 1st round. Either way both unlucky.

Tsitispas gets yet another coaching violation when 1-4 down in 3rd set tb. His father should be banned from court side.

Edit: Alcaraz takes the breaker, so of course Tsitispas off for a looooong toilet break. Fgs.

Tbf, the break was 3 mins 45s so not as long as usual.

Tsitispas cannot escape Alcaraz in the end as the spaniard takes 5th set breaker 7-5 ,only seen 2nd half really but some exciting tennis from both. However after struggling in 4th Carlos was the stronger in the final analysis, some performance from the 18 year old. As well as the spanard played perhaps the controversary and length of matches had some effect.

Mixed feelings about the Alcaraz win. Not sad that Tsitsipas went out - I think he needs to think very hard about some of his behaviour although his father has given him some very strange ideas about what is acceptable and I blame him as well. I just wish it was Andy who had pulled off the huge upset of dumping out the no 3. He so deserved it. I feel like it's his glory.

Sallydaisy

Nole will have to do this the hard way if he really wants it.
I suspect he currently wants it so much his nerves have got the better of his game.

A few stats off Twitter
"Last time Djokovic lost a B05 in straight sets was against Berdych in 2010 Wimbledon"

"Only one of Djokovic six comebacks happened in a Slam final. This year, at Roland Garros vs. Tsitsipas"

"Djokovic will need a 7th career comeback from two sets to love down to complete his Calendar Slam tonight."

We have a new Grand slam champion, well done Medvedev and certainly deserved the win! Some nerves towards the end but he got over the line- for the most part veery impressive! However Djokovic below par today, maybe the pressure did get to him and did have a few lengthy encounters along the way. However likely to get 21st slam at some point anyway though cannnot be sure if chance of calendar slam will come again.

I did not expect this. Still expecting Nole come back and win.

Congratulations Daniil on becoming a grand slam champion! :trophy: :clap:

It wasn't Novak's night, heavy legs due to too much time on court and too much nervous tension, but it's definitely been his year - he'll have to be content with 3 slams (for the 2nd time) and the goat mantle :clap:

Fedal fans showing themselves up online, I see :rolleyes: inevitable I suppose.
