FINAL: Alcaraz 6-1, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 Džumhur
Disappointment for Damir Džumhur but he knows he’s done himself, his family, supporters, and his country so proud tonight. He really tested Carlos Alcaraz tonight.
Alcaraz, the second seed, massive favorite tonight and one of the big favorites for the tournament, just about got it over the line despite not playing his best. He shakes hands for a long time at the net, slapping his opponent’s back in congratulation.
A lingering embrace from the pair, which is nice, given how hard they battled.
Džumhur, 33 years young, is serenaded by a thumping ovation from 15,000 people at Philippe-Chatrier, bright lights illuminating the sweat on his brow, their acclaim ringing in his years. And how he deserves it.
Night of his tennis life?
