Sincaraz also reached another peak, when for the first time in history, the two tennis players met in 3 consecutive Grand Slam finals in a season - Roland Garros, Wimbledon and then US Open.
Both Sinner and Alcaraz are very young - 24 for the Italian and 22 for the Spaniard. They have just started - and are challenging their limits.
This extremely young duo is creating a "new duoplay". That painted an unshakable foundation for them: Absolutely rule. So, who can break this duo?
According to commentator Barry Cowan, the brightest name is still Novak Djokovic - although he also admitted that Sinner and Alcaraz are doing too well. Djokovic has reached the quarter-finals, semi-finals, or even more in all three Grand Slams this year. If someone is quirky enough to beat those two young players, perhaps he is still the one who holds the Major and logical record. But that was when Nole was at his best. And he didn't have much time.
At the same time, there are still Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Jack Draper - players who have been deep in the journey of major tournaments - but who among them is strong enough to break away and squeeze into the "super-class tennis pair"? With Sinner and Alcaraz always playing at different levels, the rest is just a temporary challenge, not a big enough threat.
Younger opponents such as Jakub Mensik, Jack Draper and Joao Fonseca are mentioned as potential, but it is also very difficult for them.
The tennis world wants to see the neighborhood like under Roger Federer - Rafael Nadal - Djokovic, but it will be very difficult to create, at least in the next few years. At present, the dialogue is still between two people: One plays baseline like a machine, the other creates like a witch. The neighboring legs are created not only by technical strength or physical strength, but also by the right appearance at the right time, for someone different enough to make the world put them in a special group.
