Ohio ∙ Novak Djokovic made up for his Wimbledon defeat at the Cincinnati Open. Djokovic defeated Carlos Alcaraz two sets to one in a tight final. Djokovic’s sweet revenge comes 35 days after his loss in the Wimbledon final. Score: 5-7, 7-6(7), 7-6(4).
The longest ‘best of three’ match in ATP tournament history lasted 3 hours and 49 minutes. Djokovic said after the match that the match with Alcaraz was reminiscent of the 2012 Australian Open final with Rafael Nadal. Djokovic said that such matches have only been played incompletely in his career and he appreciated Alcaraz’s performance.
This is Djokovic’s 39th Masters title. With the win, Djokovic also wanted to reach Alcaraz in the ranking. If he wins the first round of the US Open starting on the 28th of this month, Joko can regain the first rank. Djokovic’s victory celebration after the match went viral on social media.
