Alcaraz has completely lost his confidence and totally lost his way.
*Zverev 3-6 6-2 6-5 Alcaraz
What a turnaround!
Incredible work from Zverev to break Alcaraz to 15. From 5-2 down to serving for the set. Remarkable.

Alcaraz isn't happy with the way the ball is bouncing on court, he's looking at the umpire.
Zverev 3-6 6-2 5-5 Alcaraz*
Wow, you don't expect Alcaraz to miss those. He reaches Zverev's drop shot and has the court at his mercy but overcooks his forehand long.
The Spaniard drops and shakes his head as he sends one sailing into the Parisian sky. He's not happy at all.
Zverev has two break points.

Alcaraz has been very nervy the last three games. Will he relax or will the tension stay up?
Zverev 3-6 6-2 5-5 Alcaraz*
Zverev seems to have got a decent portion of the Philippe Chatrier crowd on side. There's a loud roar as Alcaraz sends one flying out of court.
Zverev 3-6 6-2 5-5 Alcaraz*
Zverev's got his tail up. No messing on serve as he holds to love.
This has got very tasty.

Neither player is in control, they are not playing as consistently as they like.
*Zverev 3-6 6-2 4-5 Alcaraz
Goodness me!
Alcaraz flings out a hopeful racquet to try and make the backhand but he can't get there.
Zverev has the break. He fist pumps towards his box and runs back to his chair. It's not over.

You can't take your eyes off this one, especially with momentum and quality fluctuating.
Novak Djokovic is us.
The man who will be replaced as champion has just posted a photo of himself watching the final at home with his kids.
Hope he's got a bag of frozen peas nearby after his knee op.
Zverev 3-6 6-2 3-5 Alcaraz*
Zverev will look to get on top of the rallies in this game. That is how he has managed to break down the Alcaraz serve in previous games.
The German quickly gets out to 0-30 then misses the forehand down the line.
Zverev 3-6 6-2 3-5 Alcaraz*
Zverev does his bit and holds serve to force Alcaraz to serve out for the third set.
*Zverev 3-6 6-2 2-5 Alcaraz
Very cheeky from Alcaraz. It looks like he's going down the line and Zverev anticipates the shot but the Spaniard instead goes across court. 15-15.
*Zverev 3-6 6-2 2-5 Alcaraz
Zverev will have to serve to stay in the set as Alcaraz somehow regained the momentum in this third set.
Zverev hasn't done a great deal wrong, Alcaraz has just managed to turn it on.
*Zverev 3-6 6-2 2-5 Alcaraz
A huge hold! Alcaraz somehow manages to navigate his way around that game and take an important hold.
Three break points saved, three games won in a row for the Spaniard.
Zverev 3-6 6-2 2-4 Alcaraz*
How on earth did Zverev manage to get that pick up?!
He does all the hard work but Alcaraz fires a forehand past him. Deuce.

There's a lot of double faults in this match from Alcaraz. It is very uncharacteristic.
Zverev 3-6 6-2 2-4 Alcaraz*
Saved with an overhead smash but thrown away again with a wide forehand.
A third break point for Zverev.
Zverev 3-6 6-2 2-4 Alcaraz*
Hang on, Zverev will have another opportunity here as Alcaraz double faults.
That is his sixth of the match.
