The 2^nd set started with 4 breaks in a row as both players lost their serves twice, but the bad news for Lorenzo was that he lost his serve 4 times, and Nole won the set 6-2 as the only 2 games that the Italian won in the set came after breaking Djokovic’ serve.

Alcaraz also won in straight sets against Auger-Aliassime earlier today and the 2 top-seeded players on singles in Paris will compete for the gold medal on Sunday.
