Sinner and Alcaraz, An Exciting Race for Success in Grand Titles
Italian and Spanish have already conquered 8 titles each out of the 15 most important ones on the ATP calendar. We reveal which territories are left for them to conquer.
If there is something that characterizes great players, it is challenging themselves, not only against each other but also against the history of tennis. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have laid very solid foundations to face challenges rarely seen in this sport, such as conquering all the Grand Slams that exist. At just 23 and 22 years old, they have already conquered more than half.
They seek eternal glory and know they have the necessary arguments to achieve it. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz stand a step above the rest of their competitors and aim to forge legendary careers. They will take many titles from each other, another great player may emerge to join them and form a Big 3, but what is certain is that the demand to surpass each other will raise their level and make them better players every day.
Considering they are at the dawn of their respective careers, it is impossible not to wonder about the magnitude of their careers in terms of tournaments won, but also about what Grand Slams they have not yet conquered. This is a relevant exercise since both have demonstrated the ability to perform perfectly on all surfaces, so it is not unlikely that they will be among the all-time tennis players who conquer the most of the 15 events that make up the Grand Slams.
Under this designation, the 15 tournaments include the 4 Grand Slams, the 9 Masters 1000, the ATP Finals, and the Olympic Games. Both Sinner and Alcaraz have claimed titles in 8 of these 15 tournaments, making them among the nine players in history who have achieved that feat. Ahead of them are Pete Sampras with 9 titles, Andy Murray with 11, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer with 12, Andre Agassi with 13, and of course, the flawless Novak Djokovic with all 15. Can Jannik and/or Carlos match Djokovic in this respect?
