Spanish joins the widespread belief that Fonseca could complete a potential Big 3 and threaten the current dominance of Jannik and Carlos.
Big 3
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is one of the tennis players most affected by the convergence of historical players during the era in which he developed his career. The Frenchman had to face the best times of the Big 3, but when asked about the player who caused him the most difficulties, he surprised by choosing Andy Murray. "He had tremendous ability to play at the same pace as me and be more consistent, which made me block," he said before clarifying his response. "But of course, if you play against Nadal on clay... That is the ultimate challenge," he comments.
Rafael Nadal ?

A precocious talent breaking barriers, Carlos Alcaraz possesses, at the age of 22 years, 4 months, and 2 days, six Grand Slam titles, surpassing the record of the Big 3, and displaying an impressive potential if he can have a long and successful career. At his age, Nadal had won 5, while Federer and Djokovic had only won 1.

Some now speak well of the 2005-2008 era, when Federer and Nadal roamed, while disregarding Alcaraz and Sinner.
Spanish could become the fourth player in history to win four or more Masters 1000 titles in a single season.
Jannik Sinner moves like a fish in water when playing on hard court, especially in one of the two Grand Slams held on this surface (Australian Open and US Open). Data confirms this, placing him alongside the Big 3. The Italian has played 50 hard court Grand Slam matches, with 41 wins and only 9 losses. The same stats as Roger Federer and even better than both Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, who have 40 wins and 10 losses each.

We analyze how many top-level events the best in history had to compete in before opening their list of victories. There are surprises.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are forging a historic rivalry, and the fact that they have split the last seven Grand Slam tournaments between them, places them among the numbers of the Big 3. This is evidenced by them embodying the fourth-best streak of Grand Slam victories by two players, behind the 11 achieved by Nadal and Federer between 2005 and 2007, the 9 won by Djokovic and Nadal between 2010 and 2012, and the 8, also by a Serbian and a Spaniard, between 2018 and 2020.

The German compares the current situation of tennis with that of the beginning of his career and analyzes his options to win a Grand Slam.
Interesting observations from Gilles Simon: he also stated that Rafa was not very much loved by fans during the early days of his rivalry with Federer.
