The Grand Slam battle between newly crowned world No 1 Jannik Sinner<\/a> and his big rival Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> has dominated the men\u2019s game for the last two years and now a player who has taken on both has predicted who will end up with the most Grand Slam titles.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz is already climbing up the list of all-time greats in the major title stakes, as his win at the Australian Open in January was his seventh in a Grand Slam at the tender age of 22.<\/p>\n

By contrast, Sinner has won two Australian Open titles, a US Open crown and he also added his first Wimbledon title by beating Alcaraz in last year\u2019s final.<\/p>\n

Now, former world No 18 Benoit Paire has given Tennis365 his verdict on who will end up with the most major titles in the battle between Sinner and Alcaraz.<\/p>\n

While Paire suggested the duel between the pair will be tight for years to come, he was quick to predict it will be the Italian with more major titles on his record in the final analysis.<\/p>\n

Former world No 1 gives honest opinion on Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner\u2019s relationship<\/a><\/p>\n

Andy Roddick explains why Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are doing what Pete Sampras could not<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI would say Sinner will win the most majors,\u201d Paire told Tennis365 in an exclusive interview as he promoted the Roland-Garros eSeries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he is very solid on hard courts and little more focused win the game. He wants to win everything, so that\u2019s the difference between him and Alcaraz. Maybe I\u2019m wrong, I don\u2019t know, but that\u2019s what I think.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the future, it will be a big battle between those two. I am also hoping that there will be more players coming through like Joao Fonseca, but for the moment, I think it is between those two.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paire also reflected on the first time he came across Alcaraz, as he revealed his former coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, encouraged him to watch his young gun in action.<\/p>\n

\u201cI played against Juan Carlos in my career and he said to me, you have to look at this guy because he is very good,\u201d added Paire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThen, after just one year, he was already challenging at the top and we can also see how good he was.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has matured so quickly and achieved so much already. He is just 22 and he has won at the Slams. It\u2019s something different.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Ferrero helped him to be like this and I believe he can try and chase the records of Novak Djokovic. I believe this is possible, but the only question mark I have would be mentally.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can see that he likes to enjoy like also and sometimes he can struggle mentally. So we don\u2019t know what Alcaraz will be like in 10 years time.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I can\u2019t understand how you can be so professional all the time. To be in a tunnel. You win a Slam and the next day, someone like Novak is thinking about the next one. I can\u2019t believe this.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I win a Slam, you would not see me for a year as I would be celebrating!\u201d<\/p>\n

Paire is cut from a very different cloth to Sinner, with the relentless winning mindset that exudes from the world No 1 giving him a chance to challenge some of the game\u2019s all-time great as he looks to find his position in the pecking order of the men\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
