The opportunities to win a big tournament in today's tennis are gradually opening up, with a wide array of great players, but there are not too many candidates to emerge as new champions of ATP Masters 1000 tournaments. Let's review who has reasons to dream of achieving this success in the short term.
Gone are the years when big titles were a private hunting ground for a very select group of tennis players. As the Big 3 has aged, the number of players who have been able to shine in a splendid week at ATP Masters 1000 tournaments has increased, to the current situation where it's not easy to think of a new champion. Out of the current top 10, only two players have not won a tournament of this magnitude, and if we extend the analysis to the top 15, two more would be added.
- Four players from the current top 15 have not yet lifted an ATP Masters 1000 title
Casper Ruud and Álex de Miñaur are the only players currently in the top 10 in the world who haven't raised an ATP Masters 1000 title. Both have already reached finals of this type of tournament, so it is logical to think that sooner rather than later, they should add this achievement to their records. The competition is fierce, with other contenders like Tommy Paul or Ben Shelton vying to be new champions of these events.
Behind the candidacies of these four, there are other players like Lorenzo Musetti and Alejandro Davidovich, who have everything necessary to, in a week of inspiration, push their limits and achieve great success. Félix Auger-Aliassime, Denis Shapovalov, Frances Tiafoe, or Sebastian Korda also have the potential for it, but they must improve significantly in terms of feelings and confidence compared to what they currently exhibit. There are four ATP Masters 1000 tournaments left this season, and it will be interesting to see if we have a new champion.
