Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic They are already prepared for the tournament match in Roland Garros 2023. It’s not a final, but it’s a lot like it because the two contestants want this duel. It’s been a year since they’ve seen each other on a tennis court. It was at the 2022 Mutua Madrid Open, also in the semifinals, and the Spaniard won. So there are many pending accounts.
Alcaraz, 20 years old and number one in the world, comes like a cyclone from the previous rounds. He beat Flavio Cobolli (6-0, 6-2 and 7-5), Taro Daniel (6-1, 3-6, 6-1 and 6-2), Denis Shapovalov (6-1, 6-4 and 6 -2), Lorenzo Musetti (6-3, 6-2 and 6-2) and Stefanos Tsitsipas (6-2, 6-1 and 7-6 (5)) with great forcefulness and very sure of himself. Prepared for the challenge that Djokovic supposes in this edition of Paris. The Serbian, 36 years old and third in the world, has also had matches in which he has not been intractable, and has overcome, without yet showing all his final cards, Aleksandar Kovacevic (6-3, 6-2 and 7-6 (1)), Marton Fucsovics (7-6 (2), 6-0 and 6-3), Alejandro Davidovich (7-6 (4), 7-6 (5) and 6-2), Juan Pablo Varillas ( 6-3, 6-2 and 6-2) and Karen Khachanov (3-6, 7-6 (0), 6-2 and 6-4).
For Djokovic it would mean reaching his sixth final at Roland Garros, of which he has won two: in 2016 and in 2021; for Alcaraz, it will be the first in his third foray into the final draw of this tournament; last year he lost to Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals.
