That's outrageous from Novak Djokovic. First he wins with sensational touch at the net and then he takes a point that no-one else would.
Alcaraz booms away with the forehand but the seven-time champ just manages to turn the rally around.
30-30.

Media caption, Wimbledon 2023: 'Horror start' for Carlos Alcaraz as Novak Djokovic breaks again
Wayne:Think this has just come a little bit too early for Alcaraz. Definite future champion here, but Djokovic too smart and too good right now.
Charlene:This is insane by Djokovic. How he is able to break you every time at this Grand Slam level. It is fascinating. There is no one like him on the tour. Just wow.
Sean:Alcaraz is a great player, but Djokovic is next level.

That's a more encouraging game for world number one Carlos Alcaraz. A couple of big serves and far fewer errors.
There are wooops from one man in the crowd as seals the opener in this second set.

BBC Sport at WimbledonAlcaraz's forehand - one of his best shots - is coming under pressure and errors from that side have heavily contributed to him falling behind.
Djokovic often uses this tactic. Goes for a strength, shows he is isn't scared of taking it on and putting doubt in his opponent's head.
Suppose it's a bit like a small kid warding off trouble by having a pop at the biggest person in the playground.

Sho: This is looking real bad for Alcaraz already. Not getting any free points on serve and you have no chance of beating Djokovic if that's the case.
Rachel T: Just hoping Carlos Alcaraz is giving Novak Djokovic a head start for the LOLs.

Spectacular from Carlos Alcaraz!
With a flick of the wrist he gets a half-volley back on the backhand like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat.
He stares up at his box after winning the point. At least he's on the board.

BBC Sport at WimbledonHe's done it!
Demin sends a forehand long to gift Searle two Championship points and then does it again to hand him the title.
Demin reviews the second but the call was right, it's out!
Searle raises his arms towards his box with a huge smile on his face and then fist pumps towards his fan club in front of me.
The 61-year wait for a British boys' Wimbledon champion is over!

What will Carlos Alcaraz be thinking as another game goes Djokovic's way and both men head to their chairs?
The Serb won it with the most dismissive of forehand volleys.
Worried? You wouldn't blame him.
