I'm glad you wrote this because I've grown increasingly annoyed with the "Alcaraz is The Whole Big Three Put Together" narrative. It feels like a hilariously cold-hearted marketing strategy for a career that's really only just starting. I also think the "women's big three" idea is actively insulting to several players that are consistently still in there, like Jabeur, Krejcikova, and Pegula. The concept feels so flimsy and recency-biased that if just one match had gone differently a few months ago "the women's big three" would definitely include Jabeur, or maybe would not include Sabalenka.
Sorry I lost about 6-8 paragraphs trying to post. Should have copied to notes before logging in. I didnt want to be a member just respond to your article.
