Records and top figures, how Siner surpassed Alcaraz
2026-04-14 23:24:52 / SPORT
Clay or hard courts make no difference to Janik Siner. At this stage of the season, the Italian tennis player is dominating on every surface. The triumph at the Monte Carlo Masters tournament is his third Masters 1000 title in 2026, after Indian Wells and the Miami Open. Only Novak Djokovic, in 2015, had achieved such a triple.
For Siner, this is the fourth consecutive Masters 1000 title, including Paris, won in early November 2025. Before him, such a series had been achieved only by Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. In these tournaments, Siner has done even better in terms of the percentage of sets won: 44 out of 45 (97.78%). The only set lost came against the Czech Tomas Machac in the quarterfinals of Monte Carlo.
For comparison, Djokovic had a 95.65% (44-2) win percentage between 2015 and 2016, while Nadal was stuck at 86.9% (40-6) between Madrid and Cincinnati in 2013. Now Siner's target is Madrid, and it is there, in the "home" of Alcaraz, that a unique new record could come. If he wins on Spanish soil, he would become the first tennis player in history to win five Masters 1000 titles in a row.
RETURN TO NO.1 AND MORE – If the Italian champion were a statistics enthusiast, the numbers after the victory in Monte Carlo would give him even more motivation. First, he has reclaimed the top spot in the ATP rankings from Alcaraz, both in terms of position and weeks at the top: 67 versus 66. Currently, Siner has an advantage of 440 points, after Alcaraz lost the points he gained in Barcelona 2025 (where he was defeated in the final by Holger Rune).
However, the Spaniard will return to the field in Barcelona, where a win could see him return to the top. Siner is still behind in head-to-head matches (10-7 in favor of the Spaniard), but has won more points overall (1,739 to 1,730) and more games (266 to 264). The victory in Monte Carlo also gave him the lead in the number of titles in major tournaments (27 to 26). The Italian also has a higher winning percentage in 2026: 24 wins in 26 matches (92.3%), while Alcaraz has 21 wins in 24 matches (87.5%).
COMPARISON WITH THE “BIG THREE” – To reach the level of the previous generation, dominated by Djokovic, Nadal and Federer, both Siner and Alcaraz still have a long way to go. Although Alcaraz is the youngest player to win four Grand Slam tournaments and both have passed the 13,000 ATP point mark, the statistics of the “Big Three” remain on another level. From 2003 to 2023, they won 66 of 84 Grand Slam titles (79%).
Djokovic holds the all-time record with 24 Grand Slams, followed by Nadal (22) and Federer (20). Meanwhile, Alcaraz and Siner have 7 and 4 major titles respectively. The legendary trio won 18 consecutive Grand Slams from Roland Garros 2005 to Wimbledon 2009. Meanwhile, Siner and Alcaraz are on a 9-game winning streak, started by the Italian with his victory at the 2024 Australian Open and still ongoing.
Djokovic and Federer also hold two important records in the ATP rankings: the Serb has spent a total of 428 weeks as world number one, while the Swiss has spent 237 consecutive weeks at the top (310 in total). On the other hand, Siner and Alcaraz have the advantage of age (24 and 22 years old) and a competition that does not seem to be able to seriously challenge them. For these two “aliens” of modern tennis, who dominate on every surface, nothing seems impossible…
