Men's tennis thriving in the Post-Nadal and Federer age


After overwhelmingly dominating men’s tennis for two decades, many tennis fans were sad to see Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal call it quits.

Indeed, the sheer irrefutable hegemony of the Big Three, who are to wit: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic over men’s tennis ushered in such an unprecedented epoch of the sport that it remains unmatched in men’s singles tennis’ history.

With Nadal and Federer now retired and with Djokovic presently being in the twilight of his glittering career, many hard core tennis aficionados had been worried about which players could fill the void left behind by the aforesaid undisputed living legends of the sport.

However, it appears as if the fears of keen tennis enthusiasts globally were groundless.

Indeed, the meteoric rise of the Italian Jannik Sinner and the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz to stardom has set tongues wagging as the duo has swiftly developed a fierce rivalry.

This has been plainly evident thus far this year as Sinner admirably retained the Australian Open at the genesis of the year before succumbing to Alcaraz in a breathtaking French Open final where the Spaniard claimed the much sought-after trophy.

The duo then renewed their rivalry at Wimbledon just a month ago where Sinner saw off Alcaraz in a gripping final to sensationally secure his first Grand Slam at the All England Club.

Thus, it seems like Sinner and Alcaraz are now on the verge of establishing a pulsating rivalry for the ages.
