Nah, you're not sorry, Carlos.

Someone sat in Alcaraz's box indicates for his player to smile.
The Spaniard does say it's one of his best shots and we haven't seen much of it in recent games.

Frustration from Zverev as he misses the forehand.
The last three games have all been held from break point down.

Alcaraz saves break point then gives himself advantage but goes long for deuce. The last four games have all had break points.
It's tough out there.

Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 LiveThere looks like there is a little bit of a tweak there on that left leg of Carlos Alcaraz.

These two are fighting and fighting for every single point.
Alcaraz looks like he's got it in the bag but Zverev puts the burners on and manages to reach the drop shot. Alcaraz can't get back for the forehand smash and that's a break point for the German.

Greg Rusedski
Former British number one on BBC Radio 5 LiveThis is the best Alcaraz has moved all match and we're deep in the fifth set whereas Zverev isn't moving well at all.

*Zverev 3-6 6-2 7-5 1-6 1-3 Alcaraz
Zverev's backhand looks a touch wide and Alcaraz runs over to have a look. He sticks his racquet up to indicate it's good.
Would I admit to that in a Grand Slam final? Not sure. Deuce.

Just too good.
Zverev stands with his hands on his hips. How did he get to this stage from 40-15?
The German comes into the net and plays the drop shot but Alcaraz executes a perfect backhand pass down the line for break point.

Oh, all of a sudden it's not so comfortable for Zverev.
Out of nowhere we're at deuce.

How did that get over the net? That's just ridiculous.
A huge forehand from Zverev and Alcaraz responds with just a little flick that looks like it's headed for the netting but it floats deliciously over.
Apart from that point it's been fairly straightforward for Zverev. 40-15.

The Spaniard begins to open up a lead.

Goodness me. Some of the shots on display here you just have to admire.
Alcaraz goes down the line and Zverev anticipates where he's going next, makes the move but Alcaraz goes down the line again. Advantage, Alcaraz.
