Djokovic wins rematch of Wimbledon final at Western & Southern Open
Novak Djokovic outlasted Carlos Alcaraz in a thrilling rematch of their Wimbledon final, winning 5-7, 7-6 , 7-6 on Sunday to take the Western & Southern Open.
Djokovic was playing his first tournament on U.S. soil in two years because of COVID-19 restrictions. He secured his third Cincinnati championship in six years on his fifth match point when Alcaraz went wide with a forehand return. With temperatures hovering near 33 Celsius, Djokovic survived the tournament’s longest men’s match since at least 1990 to become the oldest man to win the championship. Ken Rosewall was 35 when he won in 1970.
“You never give up, do you?” he said. “I love that about you. I hope we meet in New York. That would be fun – well, for the fans, not for me.” “This is unbelievable,” Gauff said during the post-match trophy presentation. “I’m just happy to be here for this moment.
