The battle between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner could dominate men\u2019s tennis for the next decade and former British No 1 Tim Henman has given his verdict on who he believes will win the most Grand Slam titles.<\/p>\n
No 2 seed Alcaraz<\/a> is aiming to defend his French Open title at Roland Garros over the next couple of weeks and he could face world No 1 Sinner in what would be their first Grand Slam final.<\/p>\n Alcaraz currently has four Grand Slam titles on his record and Sinner has three, with Henman suggesting the young Spaniard has an edge on his Italian rival.<\/p>\n \u201cThe first area that Alcaraz has an edge over Sinner is his movement,\u201d said Henman, speaking at a TNT Sport and discovery+ event ahead of Roland Garros. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the best movers I\u2019ve ever seen on a tennis court.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we look at the Alcaraz vs Sinner contest, I would say the other big difference is that Alcaraz has more ways to play, more variety.<\/p>\n Former world No 1 makes prediction about Carlos Alcaraz & Jannik Sinner\u2019s dominance<\/a><\/p>\n Carlos Alcaraz admits to having a \u2018long look\u2019 at draw as he seeks to defend French Open crown<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cOn the other hand, that can also work to Sinner\u2019s advantage. He has a very simple game. He doesn\u2019t need to confuse himself. His serve is very effective and his ball striking on his forehand and backhand is incredible.<\/p>\n \u201cI watched him practise in Rome on the side of the court and his ball striking was phenomenal. He strikes the ball so hard and with so much effortless power.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s tall, long arms, long levers and his timing is exceptional. So Sinner\u2019s game is a little more straight forward.\u201d<\/p>\n Henman went on to highlight a big area of Alcaraz\u2019s game that could be improved, as he suggests the variety in his game can sometimes confuse him.<\/p>\n \u201cI would say one area he could improve on is his shot selection,\u201d continued Henman. \u201cThat really of his game is not always easy for him as he has so many options.<\/p>\n \u201cThat is where I feel Alcaraz can improve as he gets more experience, as he will understand when he needs to play certain shots. It\u2019s a great rivalry so far.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked to pick whether Alcaraz or Sinner will finish the career with more Grand Slam titles, Henman came down on the side of the Spaniard.<\/p>\n \u201cAlcaraz eventually will win more Grand Slam titles,\u201d adds Henman. \u201cTo achieve what he has done already at the age of 21 is incredible, but it feels like there is so much more to come from Alcaraz.<\/p>\n \u201cWith Alcaraz, we are in a conversation with Federer, Nadal and Djokovic and that\u2019s the slight question mark with Alcaraz. I love watching him play, he\u2019s absolutely brilliant, but there are times when he lacks the discipline around shot selection.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you are talking about building that Grand Slam tally and getting into double figures, that\u2019s the question mark for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch every moment of the French Open live and exclusive on discovery+<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n READ NEXT: The ranking points Alcaraz, Djokovic, Sinner, Zverev & co will defend at French Open<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The post Tim Henman predicts who will win Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner Grand Slam battle<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The battle between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner could dominate men\u2019s tennis for the next decade and former British No 1 Tim Henman has given his verdict on who he believes will win the most Grand Slam titles.
