Australian Open Responds Instantly to Carlos Alcaraz’s ‘It’s Not Fair’ Plea

Описание: Australian Open Responds Instantly to Carlos Alcaraz’s ‘It’s Not Fair’ Plea

A key moment of debate emerged early in the third set of the men’s Australian Open final between world No.1 Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz raised concerns with chair umpire John Blom after noticing an adjustment to the roof at Rod Laver Arena during the title clash against Djokovic. The final was evenly balanced after two sets in Melbourne, with both players claiming 6-2 victories. After a tough opening set loss, Alcaraz responded strongly in the second to level the match against the 16-time older Serbian. When the second set concluded, Djokovic briefly left the court to refresh, while Alcaraz remained courtside in discussion with his coaching team. The Spaniard was seen pointing toward the roof before speaking to the umpire and tournament referee Wayne McKeown, as it became clear that the roof was gradually being closed. Alcaraz questioned the situation, expressing his surprise at the change. He explained that he had only just noticed the roof partially closing and felt it was unfair for players not to be informed about such adjustments during play. Former British No.1 and TNT Sports commentator Tim Henman also addressed the issue during the broadcast, seeking clarification from tournament organisers. Henman revealed that officials cited nearby rainfall in southern Australia as the reason for preparing the roof to close more quickly if required.
