Men’s tennis was supposed to be dull, dull, dull right now. Seriously! We’re all supposed to be hating it. Not long ago, tennis fans used to dread this moment: the dying embers of the glorious “Big Three” era.

After producing one of the greatest Grand Slam finals of all time, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner served an explicit reminder they are the two main forces set to reign in men's tennis for years to come.

John McEnroe has claimed that both Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner would beat Rafael Nadal “at his best” after the pair contested an extraordinary French Open final. Alcaraz roared back to win a remarkable match in five sets having saved three championship points late in the fourth to force a decider.
