Jannik Sinner<\/a> and Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> are leading a new era of Grand Slam supremacy, having combined to win the past seven major titles \u2014 a streak that already ranks among the longest in the Open Era.<\/p>\n Their run, which began at the 2024 Australian Open<\/a>, now sits fourth on the all-time list for consecutive majors shared by two players. Victory for either at the upcoming US Open<\/a> would not only extend that streak, but also secure a second consecutive calendar-year Grand Slam shutout, ensuring that, for the second year running, no other player has lifted a major trophy.<\/p>\n Consistency across all stages has been the hallmark of Sinner and Alcaraz\u2019s rise, with both men contesting major finals on each of the three surfaces. Sinner has captured the past three hard-court majors, while Alcaraz saved three championship points against the Italian in a five-set epic to successfully defend his Roland Garros<\/a> title earlier this year.<\/p>\n A month later, Sinner snapped a five-match tour-level losing streak against Alcaraz in the Wimbledon<\/a> final to earn his first major title on a natural surface. \u201cI\u2019m just really happy to be building such a great rivalry against Jannik,\u201d Alcaraz said earlier this month. \u201cJannik and I, I think we\u2019ve done great things in tennis already in such a short period. I just let the people talk about our rivalry or the things that we have done for the tennis history books.\u201d<\/p>\n Longest streaks of consecutive Grand Slam titles won by two players in Open Era<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a01)\u00a0 \u00a0T2)\u00a0 \u00a0T2)\u00a0 \u00a04)\u00a0 \u00a0T5) \u00a0T5)\u00a0 \u00a0T5)\u00a0 \u00a0T5)\u00a0 From 2005 to 2007, Roger Federer<\/a> and Rafael Nadal<\/a> won 11 consecutive majors between them before Novak Djokovic<\/a> broke through at the 2008 Australian Open<\/a>. That victory marked the beginning of an era where the \u2018Big Three\u2019 shared many of the sport\u2019s longest streaks, including two nine-major runs by Nadal and Djokovic together between 2010-2012 and from 2018-2020.<\/p>\n Earlier runs in history have also left their mark. Between the 2015 Australian Open<\/a> and 2016 Roland Garros<\/a>, Djokovic shared six majors with Stan Wawrinka<\/a>, winning five of them himself. In the 1990s, Sergi Bruguera<\/a> and Pete Sampras<\/a> held a six-major streak between them.<\/p>\n Many of these streaks have been defined by contrasting playing styles: Federer and Nadal\u2019s battles became classics for their blend of speed, precision, and endurance, while other pairings brought diverse approaches to succeed across multiple surfaces and continents.<\/p>\n Now, Sinner and Alcaraz, the top two players in the PIF ATP Rankings, are carving their own place in this lineage \u2014 not just through the numbers, but through the completeness of their games and their ability to adapt to every surface. Their Lexus ATP Head2Head rivalry, which Alcaraz leads 9-5, has been defined by tight contests, momentum swings, and shared moments of brilliance.<\/p>\n Their five-hour, 29-minute final at Roland Garros<\/a> was the longest in the tournament’s history and the second-longest final at any major, and it went down as an instant classic. If one of them can lift the trophy in New York, it would underline just how airtight their grip on majors has become, adding another chapter to a run that is already redefining the balance of power in men\u2019s tennis.<\/p>\n Sinner saw his Cincinnati title defence come to an end in the final when he was forced to retire against Alcaraz after just 23 minutes, but he arrives at the US Open<\/a> with a 31-4 tour-level record in 2025, according to the Infosys ATP Win\/Loss Index.<\/p>\nCarlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner<\/a>” style=”width:100%;” src=”https:\/\/www.atptour.com\/-\/media\/images\/news\/2025\/08\/15\/15\/16\/alcaraz-sinner-roland-garros-final-embrace-2025.jpg”>Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> defeats Jannik Sinner<\/a> in the longest Roland Garros<\/a> final in history.
