Alcaraz and the potential turning point in men’s tennis

The Big 3 era of men's tennis has been a double-edged sword for the last two decades. There was a sense of conflict between the dominance of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic and the lack of new stars capable of breaking their dominance. Del Potro, Zverev and Wawrinka were flirting with the idea, but nobody came close to "hanging" with them. Alcaraz's potential victory over Djoka could be a turning point in the game.

Alcaraz is a tennis star, but he is only part of the story. Tennis doesn't need just one superstar, it needs several. Emma Radacanu could explain why it is easy for the media to anoint the “chosen one” after the briefest of successes.

Alcaraz is one of the young players who could be the turning point in men's tennis. There are eight players ranked in the top ten in 2022 aged 25 or under. Holger Rune is currently ranked 11. The new generation will take over from Nadal and Djokovic.
