Racing towards tennis's supreme title, will Carlos Alcaraz triumph by 2026, or will Jannik Sinner challenge him for the throne?

In a thrilling US Open final, Carlos Alcaraz showcased his dominance over Jannik Sinner, securing his latest major victory. Despite a less-than-stellar performance from Sinner, the Italian youngster remains a formidable force in the tennis world.

Alcaraz's coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, has been impressed with the maturity and progress his protégé has demonstrated. Ferrero believes Alcaraz is slowly becoming the perfect player, and with his physical prowess, he is expected to continue ruling the courts for years to come.

Sinner, on the other hand, has found himself in the role of the hunter, chasing after Alcaraz's title. He acknowledged Alcaraz's superiority in their final encounter and identified predictability as a weakness in his game that he aims to address.

Sinner's Grand Slam season has been marked by success, with two titles and two finals to his name. However, he was unable to dethrone Alcaraz in New York, losing the number one ranking as a result.

Alcaraz, who has already made history by winning majors on clay, grass, and hard courts, now sets his sights on the Australian Open. It is the only major he needs to win to complete a career Grand Slam.

Interestingly, Novak Djokovic is the only player to have defeated both Sinner and Alcaraz in a Grand Slam this year, having bested Alcaraz in Melbourne. This means that no other player has managed to win against either young star in a Grand Slam tournament so far.

Sinner is known for his resilience, bouncing back from setbacks with determination. However, Alcaraz seems to have found a form of 'kryptonite' against Sinner, exploiting his variations and unpredictability to gain the upper hand.

As the tennis world eagerly awaits their next encounter, both Sinner and Alcaraz are focused on improving their games. Sinner plans to work on unpredictability, while Alcaraz aims to make changes to become an even more unpredictable player.

The stage is set for an exciting future in Grand Slam tennis, with these two young stars set to challenge the established order.
