Alcaraz Courier Draper Shelton Sinner

While Alcaraz and Sinner are crushing everything in their path, Jim Courier is betting on two contenders to challenge them in 2026.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner continue to impose their law. As the end of 2025 approaches, their dominance over world tennis is reaching unprecedented heights. Between them, they have shared the four Grand Slam tournaments. But on the dawn of 2026, former world number one Jim Courier sees two players capable of shaking them up.

"Jack Draper can potentially be a competitor. But will he be able to come back strong next year? Perhaps. He played so well to win Indian Wells before being seriously injured and missing a large part of the second half of the season.

Then there's Ben Shelton. This player has the fire in him, but can he compete with Alcaraz and Sinner over the long haul? We don't know. We'll stay on the lookout, await the outcome, and savor every moment."

While Alcaraz and Sinner seem far ahead of the others, who knows what the future holds. Perhaps a third man will enter the fray.
