Since the last slam won by Djokovic at USO 2023, there has been a monopoly duopoly by Alcaraz and Sinner in Grand Slam titles.

2024
  • Australian Open: Jannik Sinner
  • French Open: Carlos Alcaraz
  • Wimbledon: Carlos Alcaraz
  • US Open: Jannik Sinner

2025
  • Australian Open: Jannik Sinner
  • French Open: Carlos Alcaraz
  • Wimbledon: Jannik Sinner
  • US Open: Carlos Alcaraz
When will this come to an end?

Who knows?

Maybe this time contrary to Big 3 the two older players are close in age, and the younger one comes "alone" 5 or 6 years later.
Maybe there are "only" 2 this time, for years to come.
Maybe one of the two even figures the other out in a way that he almost reigns alone.

No matter how it goes, tennis is more interesting these days than I feared for the late 2020s some years ago.

He's going to be the punch that tennis and Sinner- Alcaraz will not see coming.

Its happened before, it will happen again.

I’ve said it and I’ll say it again, Jack Draper will win the 2026 USO. He gives Alcaraz problems with that heavy topspin lefty and serve. What I saw from him at IW this year, was a masterclass
 
Also, @Hitman at the 2024 USO, he dropped no sets prior to meeting Sinner in the semifinal, and he gave Sinner the most difficulty to the title, despite it being a straight set win and succumbing to sickness. Who knows how it could’ve gone if he wasn’t sick.

Lets see, he has the game for it.

I want to see greater improvements in his physical capabilities. He reached his career high of number 4 this year, after a strong start to the season and even gave Alcaraz problems on clay this year, after being exhausted from the Madrid masters final in Rome. He could’ve defeated him in Rome, had he not been exhausted.

My expectations for Jack are he:

1. Reaches another career high of number 3
2. Wins another masters title
3. Reaches a slam final/Wins a grand slam

He has a long way to go yes, but it is true he has the potential in his game to match up to the very best. When he is on, he is quite the player.

First thing for him is to stay healthy, the issue he has is being injury prone. Then start steady again, start going deeper into second week of slams, he should be aiming for no less than quarters, so the consistency needs to improve. Then take it to the next stage.

I admire his mindset. He doesn’t give up. Even in the retirement against Alcaraz at the AO, when he clearly was under the weather this year, he gave it his all, and he won 3 5 set matches in a row prior to that encounter. He has a gulf in physicality to work upon, similar to Sinner, I think he’s a late bloomer.

Hes gonna surprise many, but I pick him to win either the 2026 or 2027 USO. The duopoly streak will be broken, and I think he is the one. After what I saw at the encounters at IW and Rome this year, a physically depleted Draper was up a break in both sets before losing to Alcaraz in straights.
 
Not until at least one of them fails to make the final. Right now, a healthy Draper has it in him but I can’t see it in any of the rest.
 
@Hitman I will say this. He will also surprise at the Wimbledon Championships. Yes, he lost to Cilic but I believe his game is best fitting for grass and I view him as a future SW19 champion and will get it done in the next 5 championships I predict. Hes the only player aside from Medvedev to have defeated Sinner and Alcaraz on grass.

I can see Draper winning slams. It will be interesting to see how he bounces back next year and if he indeed continues on that progression.

Yes I can’t imagine what he could’ve achieved at the post USO stretch but such is life. At least he got to a career high of number 4, and he knows and I know he will be ranked higher than that once he’s fully healthy.

Draper is a mug who peaked in Sinner's absence from the tour
 
Draper is a huge question mark and I do not understand the rush to crown him. With Sinner it’s understandable now as he has really turned into the player he was hyped to be. But Draper has too many obstacles in his way, Big 2 for starters and then Djoko, Zverev, Musetti, Shelton, Medvedev, etc
 
the siutation is a bit different
it wont happen and it will happen soon coz they are not as physically fit as djoker
any injury would knock them out
otherwise, i really dont see anyone can beat them at bo5

Not that long... till 2034. I already discussed that in this thread's OP months ago,

Thread 'Sinner/Alcaraz could dominate Tennis until 2034 ....'

I can see a pattern that a new batch of ATGs normally peak from years ending with 4

1974 - We had Connors win 3 Grand Slams and later Borg arrived.
1984 - Ok Mcenroe was having great matches in 79-82 itself but his best year came in 1984 and a new batch of champions like Edberg, Becker, Wilander all emerged after this. Lendl himself had a good run after this & not before 1984.
1994 - Sampras reached his peak and Agassi also afterwards, thus they dominated till the early 2000s when Hewitt/Safin etc all took over.
2004 - Federer reached his peak and then Nadal followed him...

No one in sight that can win slams, I believe Sinneraz will volture most of the Slams for the next 4/5 years at least (bar injuries). Fonseca can become the third man, maybe, and occasionally volture Masters/go deep in Slams.

This vulture term dont look good in Sinner alcaraz rivalry. Both are pushing each other and rest of field is not catching up.

I think that AO 2026 is clearly going to be too soon for Fonseca, not least because he's likely to end up best at Roland Garros and second best at the US Open. But is RG 2026 too soon for him? I'd say probably but not definitely. @RaulRamirez: thoughts?

Of the other players currently in the top 100, Fils and Mensik are probably most likely. I doubt Fils will be fit enough by the AO, but maybe Mensik. Tien is likely to cap out at a De Minaur/Rublev level, I think.
 
The four slams + the YEC = 10 finalists. In 2025, Sincaraz occupied 9 of these slots. That is amazing. I believe Fedal's best showing was 7 slots. In 2012, the entire Big Four managed to capture all 10 (and the two Olympic finalists!), but of course that involved twice as many players.
 
IME late 2020s. Crazy to think there may be 5 guys who’ve passed Sampras’ 14 in the next 5-7 years, isn’t it?

Draper, Fils, (recovered Rune), FAA, or someone new just may hold them off from rivaling BIG 3’s numbers by 2033ish.
 
Impossible to say.

It could take one year, like Nadal born in 86 and Nole in 87.

Or it could take 14 years, like Nole in 87 and Sinner in 2001.
 
Once Djokovic returns 12 slams won from 2018-2023 and grovels with abject lowness for forgiveness. This will set off a chain reaction whereby fans of Fedal will take their potent* negative energy off of him, and instead focus it on Sincaraz, resulting in their demise.

*Some might say impotent, but we will assume otherwise. For the sake of argument.
