Despite Its Lackluster Ending, 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz Still Ends Up Shattering Records But Falls Just Short Of Idol Rafael Nadal Over His Semi-final Duel With Novak Djokovic At Roland Garros

The whole world knows about the twenty-third Slam of Novak Djokovic, but the events that led to it are still trending. Scenes and facts of Roland Garros are unfolding one by one like twists in a thriller show, and we are not complaining! The Playoffs of the 2023 French Open went unpredictable all the way.

Apart from the usual analysis, the brilliant play, and hailing Djoker, a new statistic was unfolded. The credit goes to tennis lovers and the audience for this, though the extravagance and efforts of the players in the match cannot be denied. The viewership of the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Djokovic went sky-high. However, it fell short of the record set by the encounter between Rafael Nadal and Djokovic.

Alcaraz and Djokovic’s match almost reached the hype of Nadal and Djokovic

Carlos Alcaraz, though launched as the favorite, could not make it to the finals. But the hopes were so high that the audience could not take their eyes off the screen.

While the channel covered all the matches live, the audience rewarded them for their efforts. The Roland Garros Men’s semi-final became the second most-watched match in the history of tennis. The first most watched was still the quarter-final of the 2022 French Open. The duel between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic garnered the attention of 666,000 viewers.

The viewership statistics reflected a similarity between the two records. Both of them were not recorded in the finals. The audience focused more on their favorites than the tournament and the importance of the match. Even Djokovic’s historic win failed to glue the audience to the screen.

Will Carlos Alcaraz live up to his idol Nadal against Djokovic in Wimbledon?

Roland Garros 2023, the twenty-third slam, is all going to be clouded by the upcoming Wimbledon. The all-white tournament is set to commence on July 3rd, and speculations of favorites and winners are already making their turns. The official list released by ATP confirmed that Djokovic and Alcaraz are two of the other champions.

With Roger Federer‘s retirement and Nadal’s injury, Djokovic is once again in form among the big three. Alcaraz is still young, and issues as petty as cramps are not going to stop him from being one of the significant players who might win. Andy Murray is also practicing hard to return to the grass court and claim the trophy once again.

In this context, another match between Alcaraz and Djokovic is not impossible. Will Alcaraz get his revenge then and rewrite the viewership history for another time? Well, only Wimbledon has all the answers.
