Friendly rivals Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz look set to dominate men’s tennis. Is it time to call them the ‘Big Two?’

CNN  

CNN — For many tennis fans, rivalries are what keeps the sport going. When Federer officially retired in 2022, fears over fading stardom in men’s tennis began to intensify, with fans coming to terms with life after the “Big Three” for the first time. “Honestly, in the last 20 years, the Big Three were dominating tennis … But right now, I see a lot of players, the draws are really, really open, every player can win and leave with the big trophy.” “I think it’s not comparable with what the Big Three have done,” Sinner added in the joint interview. “I saw the draw coming out and I said, ‘Oh, Carlos Alcaraz, I have no idea who he is!’” said the Italian. “After the match, we went to the same locker room … and I was like, ‘When did you start to play tennis?’ And then we started to talk a little bit, because I wanted to get to know him because he was just an amazing talent already back in the day.” ‘It seems like he’s always winning’ Alcaraz celebrates winning his fourth grand slam title at Wimbledon earlier this year.
