With Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz firmly establishing themselves as the faces of men’s tennis, the search for the third member of a new “Big 3” is underway.
Ben Shelton, Holger Rune and Arthur Fils have been earmarked as potential candidates, and even teenagers Jakub Mensik, Joao Fonseca and Learner Tien recently flashed their potential at majors.
The one player who hasn’t been talked about enough is British No. 1 Jack Draper. Over the weekend, the big-serving southpaw demolished Alcaraz and Rune in the semifinals and finals to capture the Indian Wells title, his first career ATP1000 triumph. He also put away World No. 4 Taylor Fritz, No. 14 Shelton and No. 60 Fonseca at the event, reaching a new career-high ranking of No. 7.
