Once he lost the long service game it was likely the right decision so as to conserve energy

Not in the sense that he let Alcaraz start serving the 4th.

A fair few I imagine. Has lost at 0-6 at least once.

When Djokovic conceded the end of the 3rd set to Alcaraz, the match had 5 sets written all over it.

Watching Djokovic not be able to get that break when up 1-0 - reminds me of a lesser player having a shot...and then once opportunity doesn't happen the set gets away.

That's the vibe I get. (Although he really needed that easy hold)

I don't think Djokovic will fade.

He did not fade, but neither did Alcaraz.
A very, very good match.

Alcaraz is the best player I have ever seen..he reminds me of Laver, especially his quickness.
