Les larmes de Carlos Alcaraz en disaient long sur l'intensité du combat contre Novak Djokovic dimanche, en finale du Masters 1000 de Cincinnati, et la rage de vaincre de l'Espagnol. Vainqueur de Wimbledon en dominant le Serbe en finale, le numéro 1 mondial a cette fois cédé après un combat sensationnel contre son dauphin, 5-7, 7-6(7), 7-6(4). La déception est forcément énorme, surtout que le protégé de Juan Carlos Ferrero menait 7-5, 4-2 avant de craquer et de se lancer dans une finale épique. Finalement, après avoir manqué une balle de match dans le tie-break de la deuxième manche, Alcaraz s'est incliné contre son plus grand rival actuel.
