In the ever-evolving world of men's tennis, the rise of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner has marked the beginning of a new era. The duo has split the last seven Grand Slam titles, with nine of the last 12 going their way. Their dominance is reminiscent of the Big Three era, where Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic ruled the courts. But as history has shown, no reign lasts forever. Here, we delve into the top 10 young players who could potentially break the Alcaraz-Sinner duopoly and usher in a new era of tennis.
