The BIG 3 is already without Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are no longer in their prime. Currently ranked No. 1 in the world, Nole talked about the players who will become the new leaders of the ATP.

Carlos Alcaraz, Yannick Sinner and Holger Roon will form the new BIG 3

The Serbian, who will make his debut on clay at the Monte Carlo Masters, believes the new BIG 3 will include Carlos Alcaraz, Yannick Sinner (Darren Cahill’s pupil) and Holger Rune (coached by Patrick Muratoglu).

“The way he’s been playing lately and the last year and a half, Alcaraz has been one of the best players in the world on any surface.

And he proved that he can win a Grand Slam, he won on hard, probably most people thought he would win the first tournament on clay. So that speaks to how complete a player he is.

It’s nice to have another great rivalry that people are excited about, (Carlos) Alcaraz and (Yannique) Sinner. We have seen some exciting and emotional matches between them, including in Miami.

So I’m sure those two guys, along with (Holger) Roon from the younger generation, will be the leaders in the ATP. Perhaps these are the next three great tennis players, the new Big Three” – Novak Djokovic.

Carlos Alcaraz – 19 years old, ATP #2, former world leader and US Open winner.

Holger Rune – 19 years old, 8th ATP, Paris Masters winner

Yannick Sinner – 21 years old, 9th place in ATP.
