French Open 2023: Novak Djokovic prevails vs Carlos Alcaraz, one step away from record 23rd Grand Slam

Tennis veteran Novak Djokovic used every bit of his experience, relentlessness and fitness to beat a cramping Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 in the first semifinal of French Open 2023.

With the win, third-seeded Djokovic is just one win from a record 23rd Grand Slam title.

Djokovic made an impressive start in the first set, winning it 6-3 thanks to Alcaraz's wild forehands.

However, the world Number 1 came back strongly in the second set and won it 7-5.

But in the end, this highly anticipated matchup was as anti-climatic as can be.

At one-all in the third set, 20-year-old Alcaraz suffered major cramps, which restricted his movement.

Djokovic eventually registered a spot in the final by winning the last two sets. 6-1, 6-1.
