Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have continued their dominance on the ATP Tour this season, where they boast a combined 13 titles.
Their success includes all four Grand Slam titles, with Sinner and Alcaraz having achieved the same feat last season.
Novak Djokovic remains the last ATP player other than the duo to win a Grand Slam, having triumphed at the US Open in 2023.
He won three of the four Grand Slam titles that year, with Alcaraz interrupting his dominance by winning Wimbledon.
Nick Kyrgios predicts if Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz can emulate Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal
It is indeed Djokovic who leads the way for men’s Grand Slam titles with 24, followed by the 22 of Rafael Nadal and the 20 of Roger Federer.
Alcaraz and Sinner are on six and four respectively, with their fellow professional Nick Kyrgios now predicting just how far they can go in terms of emulating the Big Three.
On the UTS Tour, former player Jeremy Chardy asked Kyrgios: “What do you think about the level now compared to before?”
The Australian replied: “I think Alcaraz and Sinner are like, very good,” with Chardy replying: “Like Federer, Nadal, Djokovic?”
Kyrgios commented: “Yeah I think they’ll get there. In like fifteen years, when they’re finished yeah. I think the depth of the tour is not as deep as it used to be.
“It used to be crazy tough, like [Tomas] Berdych, [Juan Martin] del Potro, [Stan] Wawrinka, [Gael] Monfils, [Jo-Wilfried] Tsonga, [Richard] Gasquet.”

What is worth remembering about Novak Djokovic amid Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner dominance
It is undoubtedly much too early to compare Alcaraz and Sinner to legendary figures Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.
They are in a world of their own, having produced countless phenomenal battles on the court for several years.
It is, however, worth remembering that while Federer and Nadal have retired, Djokovic is very much still on the scene.
Djokovic struggles against Sinner and Alcaraz in best-of-five matches, but there is no doubt he still has plenty to give despite his age.
Remarkably, the 38-year-old may still be the player closest to challenging the duo, a scenario epitomised by Djokovic reaching four Grand Slam semifinals this season.
He will be a huge loss when he eventually retires from tennis, but fortunately Sinner and Alcaraz have already managed to expertly take over from the Big Three.
