Novak Djokovic has seen himself surpassed at various times during this edition of the Roland Garros. However, the Serb has brought out his best tennis when the matches have gotten tough, showing his hierarchy. Path of lights and shadows for the Serbian, who has finished several sets deciding in his favor with great solvency in the five ‘tiebreaks’ that he has played.

To date, the Serbian and the Murcian have only met once. Alcaraz defeated Djokovic in the epic semifinal of the 2022 Mutua Madrid Open 6-7, 7-5, 7-6.

Much at stake

In this semifinal there is much more at stake than the pass to the final. On the one hand, Novak and Carlos will compete for the leadership of the ATP ranking on the track Philippe Chatrier. Alcaraz will keep first place if he beats the Serbian and reaches the final.

In the case of the Balkan, he would have to be champion at Roland Garros to recover the leadership of the ATP. If Djokovic agreed to the final and lost it, first place would continue to go to Alcaraz, who would then lead the Serb by 380 points.

On the other hand, if Carlos beats Djokovic he will have a chance to win his second grand slam with only 20 years. In addition, it would mean Alcaraz’s first victory against a member of the ‘Big Three’ in a Grand Slam. However, Djokovic’s victory would bring the Serb closer to his 23º Grand Slamwhich would leave him as the undisputed and lonely leader at the top of the most winners in history.

If ‘Nole’ manages to win this edition of Roland Garros, he will become the only player in history to win all the Grand Slams on at least three occasions.
