Currently, Sinner and Alcaraz have secured all eight Grand Slam championships in 2024-2025, prompting talk of the "Sinner-Alcaraz" dual peak era. But how far are these new leaders from the glorious feats of the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic trio? Here are ten of their many records to help you grasp part of the truth at a glance.

1. Five consecutive titles at a single Grand Slam

Federer won Wimbledon consecutively from 2003 to 2007.

Federer secured the US Open title five years in a row from 2004 to 2008.

Nadal claimed the French Open championship consecutively from 2010 to 2014.

Djokovic won the Australian Open six straight times from 2011 to 2016.

Sinner currently holds two consecutive Australian Open titles.

Alcaraz currently has two consecutive French Open titles.

2. Record for consecutive weeks ranked world No.1

First place: Federer held the No.1 ranking for 237 weeks from February 2, 2004, to August 10, 2008, maintaining top position for over four and a half years.

Fourth place: Djokovic with 122 weeks.

Sinner's first tenure as world No.1 has lasted 65 weeks so far. He aims to match Djokovic's 122 weeks before discussing further. Federer’s 237-week record remains very difficult to surpass.

3. Records for titles at a single Grand Slam or Masters event

Nadal’s 14 French Open titles are widely regarded as a record unlikely to be matched.

Djokovic has won the Australian Open 10 times.

Federer secured 8 Wimbledon titles.

Sinner and Alcaraz’s Grand Slam journeys have just begun; currently, Sinner has 2 Australian Open titles, Alcaraz has 2 each at the French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. In the best-case scenario, they might equal Federer’s tally in 6 years, Djokovic’s in 8, and Nadal’s in 12 years.

4. Most Masters titles in a single season

In 2015, Djokovic competed in 8 ATP1000 Masters events, winning six titles and finishing runner-up twice. This record is likely near the limit and arguably as tough as winning six Grand Slams in a career.

Djokovic also won 5 Masters titles in 2011, tying for second place with Rod Laver, McEnroe, and Nadal (2013).

Sinner and Alcaraz seem focused first on Grand Slam events; their current fitness levels make chasing this Masters record difficult. Nowadays, most Masters events (except Monte Carlo and Paris) have shifted to two-week formats, adding some challenge.

5. Highest ATP ranking points

Djokovic reached 16,950 ATP points on June 6, 2016.

At the end of the 2015 season, Djokovic had 16,585 points, the highest ever.

Federer ended the 2006 season with 15,903 points, ranking second historically.

At the end of 2024, Sinner had 11,830 points, ranking 14th historically.

6. Best seasonal performance

Djokovic won 11 titles in 2015:

Grand Slams: Australian Open, Wimbledon, US Open titles; runner-up at French Open.

Year-end Finals: Champion.

Masters: 6 titles, 2 runner-ups.

Other tournaments: Beijing 500 champion, Dubai 500 runner-up.

Federer won 12 titles in 2006:

Grand Slams: Australian Open, Wimbledon, US Open titles; runner-up at French Open.

Year-end Finals: Champion.

Masters: 4 titles, 2 runner-ups.

Other tournaments: Titles in Tokyo, Doha, Halle, Basel; runner-up in Dubai.

Sinner won 8 titles in 2024: 2 Grand Slams, Year-end Finals, 3 Masters, plus 2 others.

Alcaraz is on track in 2025 to match or surpass Sinner’s eight titles from last year. His current results include:

2 Grand Slams, 3 Masters titles, plus Queen’s Club and Rotterdam championships.

7. Nadal’s dominance on clay courts

No one has matched Nadal’s dominance on clay. Federer’s strength on grass pales compared to Nadal’s supremacy on clay courts. Of Nadal’s 92 tour titles, 63 are on clay, including:

14 French Open Grand Slam titles.

11 Monte Carlo Masters titles.

10 Rome Masters titles.

4 Madrid Masters titles (before 2008, this event was played on hard courts).

12 Barcelona 500 titles.

Winning double-digit titles at single events like these is truly astonishing!

Can Sinner or Alcaraz achieve such dominance in any event (especially majors) or on a particular surface?

8. Djokovic’s Masters tournament haul

Djokovic has won 40 ATP1000 Masters titles. He has claimed all nine current Masters series championships, with the most titles at Paris Masters (7) and the fewest at Monte Carlo (2).

The “Double Career Golden Masters” title is uniquely held by Djokovic. Federer missed out on Monte Carlo and Rome Masters titles, thus never earned the “Golden Masters” distinction. However, before Hamburg Masters was downgraded, Federer won it 4 times. Nadal’s strong records at Monte Carlo and Rome explain why Federer missed the “Golden Masters.”

Since there are nine Masters events and four Grand Slams, theoretically, achieving a Career Grand Slam is easier than the “Golden Masters” title. This is indeed the case.

Therefore, Sinner and Alcaraz have a good chance to match the Big Three’s 20+ Grand Slam titles and Career Grand Slam honors in their careers. But will earning the “Golden Masters” title be harder? Currently, Alcaraz has 8 Masters titles, Sinner has 4.

9. Tour winning streak records

Federer’s longest winning streak is 41 matches, from the 2006 US Open to the 2007 Dubai tournament, ranking seventh historically.

Djokovic’s longest streak is 43 matches, from the 2010 Davis Cup to the 2011 French Open.

The all-time longest streak is Bjorn Borg’s 49 matches. Borg also holds the second longest at 48 matches.

Currently, Alcaraz’s longest winning streak is 24 matches, and Sinner’s is 19 matches (this figure might be inaccurate).

Winning streak records better reflect a player’s consistent high-level performance and dominance over opponents.

10. Weeks ranked world No.1 and year-end No.1 titles

1st: Djokovic, 428 weeks; 8 times year-end No.1.

2nd: Federer, 310 weeks; 5 times year-end No.1.

6th: Nadal, 209 weeks; 5 times year-end No.1.

12th: Sinner, 65 weeks; 1 time year-end No.1.

17th: Alcaraz, 16 weeks; 1 time year-end No.1.

This record is a “long and arduous journey,” requiring both career longevity and peak period length, while balancing competition frequency and physical health.

Among these ten records, which do you think Sinner and Alcaraz can achieve most easily? Which will be the hardest for them to reach?
