Even the thought of witnessing a young player dominate the Big 3 in tennis is crazy, isn’t it? However, Carlos Alcaraz has made this possible as he left the likes of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic behind in a particular aspect.

As his thumping numbers came to light, American legend, Andy Roddick, was lost for words.

While the past two decades have been ruled by the Big 3, the new generation is slowly and steadily making its presence felt. And Alcaraz is leading this charge with some astonishing displays on the tennis court. Let’s dig deep into his crazy numbers.
