Every ATP Masters 1000 final so far this season has featured a player named either Carlos Alcaraz, Holger Rune, or Jannik Sinner, as Alcaraz advances to the final of the Cincinnati Open.
World No. 1 Alcaraz has reached his third Masters 1000 final of the season so far at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Spaniard defeated Hubert Hurkacz in the semi-final after a three-set battle, 6-2, 6-7(4), 6-3.
Alcaraz will go on to face world No. 2 and 23-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in the final. The latter will be looking to avenge his defeat at Wimbledon last month where he finished runner-up to Alcaraz after seven victories at the grasscourt major.
Alcaraz, Rune or Sinner reach all 1000 finals so far
This final marks yet another Masters 1000 final this season featuring either Alcaraz, Rune, or Sinner. The three young players are all ranked in the top 10, with Rune and Sinner currently at No. 5 and 6 respectively, and are all leaving their mark on the ATP Tour at these early stages of their careers.
Alcaraz won both of the other tournaments in which he made the final, those being the Indian Wells where he defeated world No. 3 Daniil Medvedev and the Madrid Open where he won against Jan-Lennard Struff.
Moreover, Rune and Sinner have made two finals each. Sinner finished second to Medvedev at the Miami Open, before winning his first ATP Masters 1000 trophy at the Canadian Open in Toronto last week.
Meanwhile, Rune finished as runner-up at both the Monte-Carlo Masters and the Rome Open. This means that although one of them has reached every final, none of the trio have faced each other in a Masters 1000 final this year.
The next Big Three?
The talents of the trio have led some fans and commentators to speculate as to whether they could form a new Big Three, replacing the legendary trio of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Djokovic.
However, others have said that it is too early to predict whether or not any of the three players, aged between 20 and 21, will reach the heights of Federer's 20, Nadal's 22, or Djokovic's 23 Grand Slam titles.
