The Next Gen, or newer players in the sport, have long battled to unseat the triumvirate of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.

Even if Alcaraz's triumph has generated excitement and rumours, only time will be able to determine the actual significance of his victory and whether it truly represents a change in the tennis world's leadership.
