At UTS London, Peers Call Alcaraz and Sinner the New Standard in Men’s Tennis

All-court power plus elite movement have produced a run of eight straight majors between them.

Overview

Patrick Mouratoglou said the top two have no clear weaknesses and highlighted a sizable rankings gap to No. 3 as evidence of their separation.
Casper Ruud described their dominance as “a little bit annoying,” noting they strike the ball faster off both wings and flip defense to offense in a shot.
Andrey Rublev said Alcaraz and Sinner play without fear and argued Big 3 comparisons are flawed due to different conditions in today’s game.
Carlos Alcaraz closed 2025 at No. 1 with a 71-9 record and eight titles, including Roland Garros and the US Open plus three Masters 1000s.
Season metrics underline the gap: the pair combined for 18 bagel sets in 2025 (Sinner 10, Alcaraz 8), with Alcaraz also boosting his ace count to 463 from 265 in 2024.
