Sinner’s Indian Wells conquest fuels ‘Sincaraz’ dominance: He and Alcaraz have lost just one event together since 2024

Men’s tennis has entered a new phase of dominance. After the Big Three era, the baton appears to have passed to Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, whose relentless stranglehold has gripped the ATP Tour since 2024. The two have not only split the last nine Grand Slam titles between them but have also extended their supremacy across the broader ATP calendar. Alcaraz began 2026 in dominant fashion, capturing the Australian Open with a historic triumph before adding the Doha title soon after. Sinner responded at Indian Wells on Sunday, defeating Daniil Medvedev in the final to lift the trophy. The victory also placed the Italian alongside Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer as the only players to win all six of the ATP’s hard-court Masters 1000 tournaments. Alcaraz’s run in California ended in the semifinals against Medvedev — his first defeat of the 2026 season after a streak of 16 consecutive wins. With Sinner’s victory in the Californian desert, the duo — popularly dubbed ‘Sincaraz’ by fans and broadcasters — have now lost just one of …
