I haven’t watched much tennis since Wimbledon.

- Nadal sucked and then retired
- Djokovic seemed to not care after the Olympics
- Sinner got caught for doping
- I like watching Alcaraz, but he doesn’t seem to have a worthy opponent outside of the doper

I guess I am feeling a bit of a lull after the end of the Big 3 and the GOAT epic that has fueled the ATP narrative for a decade. Plus I don’t like the behavior of Zverev, Medvedev, Rublev, Rune etc. and don’t watch them. Since I am boycotting Sinner, I guess I have to wait for Djokovic-Alcaraz finals or maybe some Alcaraz-Ruud or Alcaraz-Fritz matches.

Yeah, I can identify with the whole post. I'm not boycotting watching Sinner, but it's not the same enjoyment as before, and since Alcaraz vs Sinner was the first and only Non-Big-3 matchup that caught my interest, tennis feels quite empty now after two decades of greatness.

I hope Djokovic will have a strong comeback in 2025 and compete for the Slams. If not, then maybe Alcaraz might give the CYGS a shot (especially if Sinner really gets a ban).
 
Muchova vs Krejcikova in Czechia
Rybakina vs Avanesyan on clay
Kasatkina vs Osaka on non-Wimbly grass
Swiatek vs Tauson on a fast hard court
Mirra Andreeva vs Sakkari at Indian Wells
Kostyuk vs Zheng at AO
Sabalenka vs Anisimova at Miami
Pegula vs Vondrousova at Wimbly
Gauff vs Vekic at RG
Ostapenko vs Navarro at USO

and Alcaraz vs Sinner wherever i guess

The new big 3. Their matches will always generate the most interest, at least until Djokovic retires.
Totally agree, those are the only matches I have any interest in watching from start to finish.
Let's hope there are some high-quality matches in majors/MS1000s in 2025 featuring two of these three players
Hopefully - Djokovic vs Alcaraz at AO to complete the full set of meetings in majors

Nowadays I tend to tune out at some point for any other match-up

We need a Djokovic vs Zverev match to determine the third member of the top trio. Didn't see one this year. Perhaps in Torino?
