Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have dominated men's tennis since the beginning of 2024, writing one of the most one-sided chapters in tennis history. The two young stars have won 15 of 16 tournaments they entered together since the 2024 Australian Open!
Thus, the Italian and the Spaniard have turned the ATP Tour into a two-man show, with no one standing close to them. The only tournament they failed to conquer in the previous twoyears is the 2024 Madrid Masters.
Carlos struggled with an arm injury while Jannik withdrew ahead of the quarter-final due to hip issues. Thus, it remains to be seen who will stop them when they are 100% physically.
Everywhere else, it has been about the strongest duo of current tennis. Sinner and Alcaraz have been on an impressive streak. They have clinched 14 notable titles during their run, including seven Majors, six Masters 1000 crowns and the ATP Finals trophy.
Thus, the young guns have created a rare duopoly that revives past golden rivalries reserved for Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Jannik and Carlos have split the biggest stages between them, with no one managing to end their run.
Their rise is even more compelling when we examine the contrast in their styles. Alcaraz brings explosive flair, dazzling shot-making from every part of the court and a touch of unpredictability.
Sinner embodies calm precision, relentless power without too much effort and icy consistency that places him among the most prominent players of our sport. Together, they elevate each other's rise and push limits few believed possible in such a short time.
The rest of the ATP field struggles to keep pace, and the ATP Race to Turin lists proves that ahead of the US Open. With more glory and history at every tournament they enter, one can only wonder if anyone can stop their run and chase the notable titles against them.
Jannik and Carlos are the favorites at the upcoming US Open. Alongside the title, they are fighting for the ATP throne. The task is simple but challenging - reach one round more than the rival.
If they advance into a projected title match, we should see another thriller on the most notable tennis scene.
