Serving to stay in this final, Novak Djokovic eases into the net to put away a volley.
Will he panic? I doubt it.

Wow, nerves of absolute steel from Alcaraz to slam an ace down on his second serve and take the hold.
Is this it? We know Djokovic won't go down without a fight but this crowd are waiting with baited breath.

Absolutely fearless tennis from Alcaraz.

An ace to win the game from Carlos Alcaraz!
The 20-year-old is a game away from the Wimbledon title.
*Alcaraz 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 4-3 Djokovic
Just every now and again Djokovic throws in the surprise miss. This time it comes from the backhand.
You can feel the shock murmuring around this court.
40-15 to the Spaniard.
*Alcaraz 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 4-3 Djokovic
Carlos Alcaraz rises from his seat, possibly for the last time.
He is two games away.
He starts with a crushing forehand that clips the net and loops long.

The expectation at the start of the fortnight was that Djokovic would enter New York chasing the calendar Grand Slam.
Djokovic holds on.
Zawe Ashton and Tom Hiddleston are everyone watching this match on Centre Court, on the hill, in their living rooms and watching on their phones.
Almost every point steeped in drama, tension and jaw-dropping quality.

Brilliant, nerveless tennis from Novak Djokovic.
If I ever need someone to play a point of tennis for my life, I know who I am choosing.

Another Alcaraz thunderbolt finds the the mark.
30-30. He can almost see the finish line...

My heart is hammering never mind the players.
Djokovic raises his arms as if to say 'what was that' after looping one long for 30-30.

Alcaraz punishes Djokovic for those two uncharacteristic mistakes.

The Carlos Alcaraz super fan in front of me had been quiet for a while but he leaps to his feet after an ace seals this service game.
Djokovic put two forehands out on the previous points - possibly hampered by an untimely gust of wind.
Djokovic is annoyed.
*Alcaraz 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 3-2 Djokovic
Huuuge hitting from Carlos Alcaraz gets him on terms at 15-15. Djokovic sends him scampering like Scrappy Doo with one of those trademark returns a point later, however.
The Serb can sniff an opening.
Novak Djokovic broke his racquet, dented the net post and may have also hurt his wrist with that hit-out after being broken in the fifth set.
Frustration.
*Alcaraz 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 3-6 3-2 Djokovic
Struggling or not, Djokovic gets through this latest service game with little trouble.
Never count him out.

Ordinarily a picture of calm, we've seen Djokovic's emotions get the better of him there.
Can he see his eighth Wimbledon title slipping away from him?

Novak Djokovic is still shaking that wrist out...
