BREAK! – DJOKOVIC 6-3 5-2 ALCARAZ

From defence into attack – Djokovic survives a major scare and test on his own serve and then springs forward on the return to clock up two BPs via a sublime pick-up to an Alcaraz drop shot.

The Spaniard saves both, knifing away a delicious volley on the second to make deuce.

Djokovic keeps coming, however, and somehow comes out on top in another rally of the year contender when Alcaraz blows a forehand long.

It’s the insurance break and that will be that for Carlitos, who threw his racquet away after that forehand miss. He was on top in the rally in that moment and was disgusted not to pull off another rescue act.

Djokovic will now serve for a place in the final.
