Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic are the two names in tennis that have garnered a lot of attention this season. With two singles Grand Slam titles already under his name, the young Spaniard has established himself among the leading figures on the men’s tour. On top of this, the 20-year-old has also attained ‘the world No. 1 player’ status after his first major triumph in the previous season.

His Serbian rival, on the other hand, has also made headlines owing to his record-equalling feat. After winning three major tournaments this season, the ‘Djoker’ now has 24 Grand Slam titles, the most on the ATP and WTA tours. The outstanding accomplishments of Djokovic and Alcaraz during this period have helped them gain recognition on an elite list featuring the likes of LeBron James and Cristiano Ronaldo.
