In 2024 , Sinner won the Australian Open , US Open and French Open titles.

His 73 -6 overall record, good for a 92.4 winning percentage, skyrocketed him far past the second -placed Carlos Alcaraz .

The last non-Big Three player with a winning percentage that high was Ivan Lendl , all the way back in 1986 .

The Big Three had four seasons with better winning percentages out of 68 seasons combined.

World No. 1 Sinner will defend his first Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in 2025 .

Carlos Alcaraz , the current world No. 2 , will go into the final year of the Grand Slam season in 2024 .

Sinner 's biggest obstacle could be his doping case against him, which has also cast a shadow over his remarkable rise.

Sinner finished with a DR above 1.00 ( 1.06 and 1.14 ) in both of his 2024 Grand Slam losses to Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev .

Sinner could achieve something that hasn't been done in men's tennis in more than 50 years .
