This Sunday on Centre Court at the All England Tennis Club we will be able to enjoy the best tennis match we can enjoy right now: Novak Djokovic against
Carlos Alcaraz.
The player from Murcia is looking for his second Grand Slam and to continue being number 1 in the world against a Nole who comes out a priori as a great favorite to win another title in London. In this article we tell you the keys that can make Alcaraz can win.
POSSIBLE KEYS
1. Continue with the same efficiency and effectiveness with his serve as he did against Rune and Medvedev, if his first serve percentage drops, Nole will not forgive him. In addition, he must be prepared for the Serb's long returns and counter them quickly with his second shot in service games;
Try to hurt Djokovic with his first serves and take advantage of his second serves. The Serbian's first serves are almost perfect, they do not get off the ground after bouncing and so far no player has been able to read them. Carlos should try to put him under more pressure than his opponents have done so far.
3. Do not fail at key moments. If the match is evenly matched, it can end up being decided in tie breaks or loose break balls. In those key moments Carlos has to show the same solidity he showed against Rune, in which he took advantage of the few break balls he had to win the match.
4. Take it with more relaxation than in Roland Garros. He must relativize the moment, not to give it more importance than it has. It is a final, but they are going to arrive more. He should not put on himself the pressure that he put on himself in Paris, he should not pay attention to the populist Spanish press that in Paris gave him the favorite against the best in history. He must have learned.
5. Let the pressure pass to Djokovic. It must be clear from the beginning that the one who can go down in history right now taking 2 Grand Slams from Rafa Nadal if he wins is Nole. For Carlitos it is his first final. Those moments of tension of Djokovic, in which he faces the public and the chair umpire, should be used to his advantage;
