9 Jun 2023 17.41 BST I can’t lie to you, I’m feeling a little empty here – it’s like going to El Bulli and wading into an incredible hors d’oeuvre then, with mains plated and served, a faceless passer-by flips the table. OK, I’d eat whatever it was off the floor without compunction and with gusto, but you get what I mean. • • 9 Jun 2023 17.35 BST The first set and a half he thinks he played really well, but at the end of the second Alcaraz was better. He knew he had to take the ball early and attack because he had to be the aggressor – Alcaraz wants to be in control, so he had to do what his opponent does, only better. He’s proud to be in another final, is living a dream, loves playing at Roland-Garros, and he hopes that one day he’ll win the tournament again. • • 9 Jun 2023 17.33 BST Ridiculously, the crowd, disappointed at what happened to their match, boo Djokovic again then cheer him. He looks almost tearful as he commiserates with Alcaraz, saying physical problems are the last things you want. He told him at the net that he’s young and he’ll win plenty of these, plus he’s a really nice bloke, and showed great fighting spirit to keep at it instead of just turning it in. He reckons that towards the end of the second set he “wasn’t feeling fresh at all”, saying they went at it toe-to-toe so he just tried to stay present, not think about what was going on on the other side of the net, and he respects Carlos, hoping he’s back soon. • • 9 Jun 2023 17.28 BST Novak Djokovic [...
