Between themselves, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have shared the last eight slams. It is a duopoly at the top of the rankings tree, with these two generational talents competing in their own bubble, while the rest play catch-up. Alcaraz won an epic five-setter at Roland Garros; Sinner got his own back at Wimbledon, only for Alcaraz to land another counterpunch in New York. Thrilling as this rivalry is, the cage is ripe to be rattled. Remember; back when it was all about Federer versus Nadal, and then a certain Novak Djokovic burst through the gates? 2026, can you find us a kid with a bulldozer, ready to enter the ring with Sin-Caraz!
