When Djokovic deals with adversity he is usually so strong. Right now he is distracted.

When Djokovic deals with adversity he is usually so strong. Right now he is distracted.

On the very next point after the argument Djokovic double faults.
Is he rattled? Maybe distracted?
Alcaraz has break point again.

What's this about?!
After that forehand Djokovic has gone for long word with the umpire.
It sounds like he's complaining about the time clock again - and how quickly the umpire is starting it.

The wind is really whipping at Djokovic's shirt at the end opposite the Royal Box. He has saved the break point but is chuntering away after missing a subsequent forehand with the game at his mercy.

From perfection to ordinary.
Djokovic nails an absolute beauty down the line for the advantage, giving Alcaraz a glare for good measure, then misses the drop shot to take us back to deuce.
Wow it's tense.

Andrew: Djokovic is flustered, which doesn’t happen often, especially in finals. Alcaraz needs to press home his advantage now, before Novak wakes up again. Because he will wake up again.

Djokovic shows a flash of his usual self with a pinpoint backhand but he follows it with an iffy drop shot. His head rocks back in a look of frustration, disgust and dismay.
Carlos Alcaraz has another break point...

The charging bull that is Carlos Alcaraz wins a point with a volley at the net. There's not much of his trademark cheeky grin right now. He's all focus.
Deuce.
If you're going to win a set in a Wimbledon final you may as well do it in style.
Here's how Carlos Alcaraz clinched the second...

That's a big boost for Carlos Alcaraz. Under pressure from the greatest returner the world has seen, he manages to fight free to hold serve.

Woah! What happened there? Djokovic flung at that Alcaraz serve and it went high and backwards into the seats behind the Serb.
Break points saved...for now.

Novak Djokovic throws his arms into the air again as the break points are saved by Alcaraz.
There's still work to do...

The Royals are back in their seats in time to see two sloppy shots at the net by Alcaraz. Suddenly he's the man under pressure.
That one is long too.
Two break points out of nowhere for Novak Djokovic...
These two are giving it all for every point out on Centre Court.
Bodies-on-the-line tennis.
*Alcaraz 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 2-1 Djokovic
That's more like the Djokovic we all know - digging points out of nowhere. He gives someone a glare in the stands too.
The Serb is still down by a break but he's stopped the torrent of momentum.

Alcaraz is winning the majority of the rallies from the baseline.
Djokovic will have to come in and mix the play up.
At the moment Alcaraz is the better player from the baseline, and Djokovic needs to find a solution.

Carlos Alcaraz looks to be loving this now. He seems to extend by an extra foot as he puts away a smash.
We're at 15-30 on the Djokovic serve.

It’s a bit early to say Djokovic is rattled. But he looks a bit fragile mentally at the moment.

The TV camera zooms in on Jelena Djokovic. She rarely gives a lot away but I'd say she's somewhere between mildly concerned and worried on the scale.
Her husband is just not quite at it right now. Alcaraz consolidates his early break with a hold of serve.
