Carlos Alcaraz has already won many prestigious titles at just 21 years old and no one has any doubt that he will be one of the great stars of men's tennis in the next 10-15 years. Carlitos and Jannik Sinner are the two new faces of the ATP tour, especially after sharing the four Grand Slam titles equally in 2024.

The 21-year-old from Murcia has won four Major titles including Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the same year and five Masters 1000, as well as being world No. 1 for 36 weeks. The Italian ace on the other hand began his rise later than his great rival, but has become simply unstoppable in the last twelve months.
The 23-year-old from Sesto Pusteria who has already surpassed Alcaraz's number of weeks at the top of the ATP rankings has won three Grand Slam titles and four Masters 1000, showing a consistency and mental strength almost unique for a player of that age.
Their rivalry has already created some memorable challenges, such as the celebrated quarterfinal of the 2022 US Open and the semifinal of the 2023 Miami Open, but Jannik and Carlos have yet to face each other in a Grand Slam final.

Fans and insiders thought that this wait would end at the 2025 Australian Open, but the Spaniard's run at Melbourne Park ended against Nole Djokovic in the quarterfinals.
Alcaraz star on Netflix
Meanwhile, it has been announced that this year fans will finally be able to see the docu-series on Alcaraz that Netflix has been preparing since March 2024. The famous platform has published some images of the docu-series about the young Spanish champion on social media, but the exact date of its release has not been revealed.
2024 has been a very busy year for the current world number 3, who became the youngest player ever to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same season. As if that were not enough, the former world number 1 also won the silver medal at the Paris Olympics.
