Yeah but the Djokovic that played against Kei was the Djokovic that was required against Kei. He doesn't always give you full Djokovic until he needs to. You just have to hope he doesn't flip the switch in time.
Anyway, yes, I'll be cheering for Brooksby just to provide an easier path for Felix, but Felix really needs to get Alcaraz done in straights, which would be no mean feat. The kid seems to just get better as matches go on. Tsitsipas looked like someone walked over his grave in his post game presser talking about the level Alcaraz got to in the fifth and, well, he just bageled a guy in that set in the second week of a major tournament. You can't give him any momentum.
