In the fifth game of the first set of this gruelling match, it appeared a fly got into the right eye of Carlos Alcaraz.

Kindly, the umpire, Marijana Veljovic, clambered down from her chair to have a look and, when the game was completed moments later, a man with a physio's bag arrived on court to deal with the rogue pest.

But the Wimbledon champion's sight was never focused on anything other than a third consecutive final here.
