For the first time in 22 years, none of the "Big Three" in men's tennis—Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, or Roger Federer—have won a Grand Slam in a calendar year. Djokovic's early exit at the US Open, following Nadal's injury absence and Federer's retirement, marks the end of an era that has dominated tennis since 2003. The last time this happened was in 2002 when players like Pete Sampras and Lleyton Hewitt were among the champions. With the rise of new talents like Carlos Alcaraz, men's tennis is set for a new generation of champions.
