Steve finally "gets" Carlos. Carlos is a genius, tremendous athlete and fabulous human being. Spanish speakers will tell you that he gets mostly encouragement from his box and not explicit instructions. Think about it, no amount of instruction holds the racket for you and experiences the sensations. If that were the case we all would be able to play professional tennis.
Carlos played high-quality players all the way. Novak was playing great against lower ranking rivals, I don't know why people deluded themselves into believing Novak would win. He got to the final because of the easy draw. Didn't play a single top 10 player on the way to the final.
All along I've been saying that it wasn't the knee or the running speed of Djokovic. Without a coach, Novak took the wrong approach (pun intended) in the match. Alcaraz peaked at a higher ceiling than Djokovic. Simple as that.
