John McEnroe, the legendary pundit, stirred the pot. The match is heating up with Alcaraz taking the first two sets, the second in a tight tiebreak. Now, with the third set underway at 4-6, 7-6, the tension is thick. McEnroe’s controversial claim that this might be Djokovic’s last Grand Slam chance didn’t sit well with many.

Djokovic’s main concern this tournament has been his health. Competing at 38 with recent injuries is no joke. Yet, before the event, Nole was positive, saying, “Feeling alright. Let’s see. Once I step on court we’ll see. Expecting a very physical match. I’ll give my best as I do every time.” Fans hope that fire burns bright despite the doubts.

But with McEnroe lighting up reactions, the commentary box is far from calm. The back-and-forth off-court matches the intensity on-court, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats.
