Carlos Alcaraz voices frustration over Rod Laver Arena roof closure during Australian Open final

Carlos Alcaraz expressed frustration with Australian Open organizers over the partial closure of the Rod Laver Arena roof during his final match against Novak Djokovic. The decision to close the roof, despite no rain, was made before the third set. Alcaraz believed it disadvantaged him, with some pundits agreeing that outdoor conditions should be maintained when dry. The partial closure was intended to mitigate potential rain. An open roof would have created windier conditions, potentially favoring Alcaraz.
