In the French Open semifinal, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will showcase the future of tennis.

For the third time in twenty years, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic did not go past the quarterfinals of a Major tournament this week at the French Open.

The trio has dominated men's tennis for so long that it has become second nature to follow their development and any prospective matchups all the way to the Grand Slam finals. However, with Federer out of the picture, Nadal's protracted attempts to pull off another miracle in Paris smashed in the opening round, and Djokovic's form issues compounded by a recent setback in his injuries, it appears as though the curtain has almost fallen on the era they helped to define.
