Alcaraz vs Djokovic preview

Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic are about to face off in a five-set match for the first time ever. It's scarcely believable that it's taken this long, but injuries and visa issues mean that the two players who have traded world No.1 status four times already this year have rarely featured at the same event. They have, however, met once before.

Alcaraz came from behind to stun the Serb at the clay-court Madrid Open a year ago, in a preposterously entertaining three-hour and 35-minute thriller that suggests we should all settle in for the long haul here. The first and the third sets went to tie-breaks, and Djokovic has said that he fully expects this to be the longest match of the 2023 French Open so far. 

There are undeniable shades of Federer vs Sampras at Wimbledon in 2001, the watershed encounter that marked the passing of the torch from a legend to a future all-time great, but despite Djokovic being seven years older than Pistol Pete was on that occasion, the prospect of winning that record-breaking 23rd grand slam title means the fire in his belly is burning hotter than ever.

This will be Djokovic's 45th semi-final in a major, compared with Alcaraz's second, but anybody who witnessed the 20-year-old dismantle Stefanos Tsitsipas in the last round would be tempted to write off the value of experience. The Spaniard himself has hailed it as the greatest performance of his career, but can he maintain those frightening standards when he's having to chase drop-shot after drop-shot in the searing heat of Court Philippe Chatrier?

This is going to be something special, and here's how to get an Alcaraz vs Djokovic live stream and watch the French Open semi-final from wherever you are.
