Intro

Men’s tennis has always been defined by legendary rivalries. For nearly two decades, the Big Three – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic – treated us to unforgettable clashes on the sport’s biggest stages. That era has finally passed, and a new duopoly is taking centre stage.

In this weekender episode, we delve into the exciting rivalry between World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and World No. 2 Jannik Sinner, who most recently clashed in the U.S. Open final. They became the first men in history to contest three major finals in a single calendar year.

What makes this rivalry so compelling? How do they compare to the Big Three? And will their dominance shape the ATP tour for years to come?
