"Certain there was let on match point" - Serena Williams' ex-coach poses questions about Novak Djokovic's win over Carlos Alcaraz in Cincinnati final

Rennae Stubbs, the former coach of Serena Williams, has voiced a technical concern about Novak Djokovic's triumph over Carlos Alcaraz in the 2023 Cincinnati Open final. Stubbs claimed a let chord was missed when Alcaraz had a match point, which could potentially have changed the result of the match.

The former Australian tennis player described the match as "truly incredible." However, she also expressed a degree of certainty that there was a let on match point in the second set tiebreak.

Encouraging fans to watch Alcaraz's reaction after Djokovic's serve, Stubbs emphasized that her intention was not to diminish the Serb's achievement. Nonetheless, the Australian couldn't help but express disappointment at the possibility of the let on match point being true.

Rennae Stubbs posted on her social media account after the Cincinnati Open final:

"Unbelievable match! Unbelievable but I’m fairly certain there was a let on MP! Take a listen and watch Carlos reaction. Not taking it away from Novak, what an effort but man sucks if it’s true."

In the Cincinnati Open 2023 final, Novak Djokovic triumphed over Carlos Alcaraz with the scoreline reading 5-7, 7-6(7), 7-6(4). The match was eagerly anticipated given Alcaraz's victory over the World No. 2 in the Wimbledon 2023 final, but this time it was Djokovic who prevailed.
