Alcaraz currently has 15 Big Titles to his name.

The dynamic between Sinner and Alcaraz in the 'Big Titles' standings has shifted dramatically this year. After Alcaraz won the Australian Open, he held a 15-11 lead. However, Sinner has since dominated the major tournaments, winning six of the last seven 'Big Title' events. He notably became the first player to win the opening five ATP Masters 1000 tournaments of a season, achieving a Career Golden Masters with his victory in Rome.
