Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz dominate tennis in an impressive (and quite oppressive) way. Even if the previous years offered more variety, the sport benefits from it.
As the dominance of Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal as the Big 3 gradually ended, many people became very worried about tennis. It was feared that the game with the yellow felt ball would collapse as a world sport.
Others were looking forward to many different Grand Slam winners in the era after the tennis triumvirate. With the advance of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, neither side was right.
The signs point to even more dominance by the two new top dogs in 2026. One could sarcastically remark that things have now become “even worse”. Because in the days of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer there was at least a little more variety in the finals with three big names.
Sinner against Alcaraz is the best thing that could have happened to tennis
However, if you put the irony aside, you can conclude that nothing better could have happened to tennis. The general public is particularly fascinated by heroic achievements and dominant people.
