Odds:
Alcaraz 1.48
Djoker 2.60
I'm a bit  ... Sure, makes sense Alcaraz is favourite, but that's quite short! |
Sheesh! Shoulda put $ on the Djoker.

What was your take on the match, Jezza? 
Alcaraz still needs to work out his cramping problem. |

Djokovic is a machine when he's playing like this. I doubt anyone else would have beaten him in this mood barring a strong Nadal on clay.
Alcaraz just needs to be more intelligent in channelling his energy and conserving himself better rather than chasing after every single ball in a rally.
Once Alcaraz was cramping, it was a procession after that. He'll learn from the experience.
I think Mats Wilander summed up Alcaraz's issues well:

Cheers, Jezza.
Here's ESPN's report:
https://www.espn.com.au/tennis/story/_/id/37826593/what-went-wrong-carlos-alcaraz-french-open
"With temperatures reaching 86 degrees Fahrenheit, the two players pushed each other to the limit in the first two sets, which lasted two hours, 18 minutes."
Elsewhere, Del Potro is quoted saying:
"Alcaraz had cramps after played two sets with Djokovic and he's 20; at 20 I won the final of the US Open against Federer." |
