Sinner/Alcaraz has just started. Let's give them some time.
And remember, things like this happen. Connors/Mac never met at a USO final. Edberg/Becker only met at W finals.
There was that other guy, who was always in the US Open final )

Sure.
Let's see. Mac/Lendl met in
only three slam finals. Connors Lendl in only two. Connors/Mac in only 2. Of course, Borg/Mac did meet in 4
We are again remembering the exceptional era of R/R/N, who met all the time. But, on average, big champions only have two or three such meetings.

Trouble is, they don't even meet much in non-major events..the seeding system protects them in earlier rounds..
And the ones you have mentioned were not always contemporaries, that is, one was often much younger

Very surprising news, and a big bummer for American tennis.
Grant is an exceptional talent.

nice to see Dalma Galfi winning a 125 event.. she was a junior champion some years ago, had sort of disappeared from the radar.. this might give her some wings..

I watched a lot of the ATP Challenger in Aix this week. They had good crowds and the tennis wasn't bad.
