They met in the finals at five consecutive tournaments they both competed in (from the Italian Open to the US Open).<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive interview, Tennis365 asked Baghdatis whether he thinks Alcaraz or Sinner will finish with more majors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery tough question. I would go with Alcaraz because he has more variety to his game, I can say,\u201d said the former world No 8<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut he\u2019s mentally maybe less consistent than Sinner, so it can backfire.

That\u2019s one of them who could, and I think will,\u201d assessed the Cypriot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut other than Fonseca, especially in a Grand Slam in a five-setter, I don\u2019t see [who can stop Alcaraz and Sinner]\u2026 Yeah, maybe [Alexander] Zverev can win here and there, one or two.

So that\u2019s where I think they stand out a bit \u2013 because their competition was much better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo yeah, that\u2019s what I think. Maybe I\u2019m wrong, but what\u2019s what I see. But to compare\u2026 the only way you could compare Alcaraz and Sinner to those three, four players was to put them there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-videos\/carlos-alcaraz-jannik-sinner-federer-nadal-djokovic-comparison\">Former British No 1\u2019s shock verdict on why Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are better than the \u2018Big 3\u2019<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/carlos-alcaraz-jannik-sinner-grand-slam-prediction-marcos-baghdatis\">Who can break Carlos Alcaraz &amp; Jannik Sinner\u2019s dominance?
