The victory was indeed a very special one for Djokovic who was looking to take revenge after being on the receiving end in Wimbledon last month where he lost to the young Spaniard in a five-set thrilling final with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.

On the other hand, Alcaraz will be looking to get over Sunday’s result and turn his focus to the upcoming US Open where he will be defending his crown this year.
