Just in case there was any doubt, in this 2025 season, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are making it clear who rules the professional circuit. Having split two Grand Slams each, the Spaniard and the Italian have shown that they are operating at a much higher level than the rest of the players.

Despite some challenging moments on the court, both Carlos and Jannik have not struggled much in recent months. The question of a possible Big 3 or Big 4 continues to spark debate in the tennis world, awaiting the emergence or consolidation of a new figure to challenge the current duo.

To shed some light on this issue, Patrick Mouratoglou analyzed the situation in detail, mentioning specific players whom he thinks could pose a challenge to Alcaraz and Sinner: "Everyone asks me: who can truly challenge Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the upcoming years? To achieve that, a player needs it all: a great forehand, a great backhand, a great serve, great movement, and a great mentality. It's a lot."

• Ben Shelton

"For me, the biggest breakthrough of this summer has been the rise of Ben Shelton to the highest level. Watching him play is thrilling, he fills stadiums, and when he plays, things happen. His serve and forehand are incredible, and being left-handed gives him an advantage. He already has two key pieces of the complete package, but he needs to improve his movements and turn his backhand into a real weapon. If he does that, he can compete with Carlos and Jannik," Patrick explained through LinkedIn.

• Felix Auger-Aliassime

"It was fantastic to see him back in form at the US Open. His serve, forehand, and movement are fantastic. He also enhanced his backhand, but he still needs to make it a true strength. In today's tennis, you can't afford a weakness. If Félix further develops that backhand, he can be among the top 5 and compete at the highest level."

• Joao Fonseca

"Many are talking about him as the next big promise. He has tremendous potential, no real weaknesses in his game. Both of his groundstrokes are very strong, he serves well, moves well, and, most importantly, has a lot of desire, but patience is needed. He is still young, still learning, and needs to climb positions gradually before becoming a real threat."

• Holger Rune

"I know Holger well. He has what it takes: a huge forehand, a powerful backhand, a great serve, incredible movement, and a strong desire to succeed, but he currently lacks stability and consistency. Emotions sometimes overpower him, which can cost him matches. If he addresses that, he will be at the top."

Jack Draper

"Jack has progressed a lot, winning Indian Wells and reaching the final in Madrid. His backhand is no longer a weakness, and he is highly motivated, but his issue is his physical condition. He is constantly getting injured, preventing him from gaining momentum. If he stays healthy, he has the qualities to be a competitor."
