How many Grand Slams will Italian world No. 1 Jannik Sinner win after his US Open success at Flushing Meadows on Sunday? Sinner became the first Italian man to win the US Open title after beating Taylor Fritz in the final. The world No. 1 defeated the American in straight sets on Arthur Ashe to complete a fine tournament and add this crown to the title he won in Australia.

With Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz dominating the Grand Slams in 2024, the Sky Sports Tennis team speculated on how many titles the pair would secure before they retire from the game. Tim Henman believes both Sinner and Alcaraz will win more than 10 Grand Slams. Henman reflected on past legends, noting that when Pete Sampras won his 14th Grand Slam, it seemed insurmountable, yet Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic have since surpassed that number. Given this context, Henman confidently predicts that Sinner and Alcaraz will each exceed 10 Grand Slam titles, which he regards as an incredible achievement.

Tennis legends Martina Navratilova and Feliciano Lopez concur with Henman, forecasting double-digit Grand Slam victories for both Sinner and Alcaraz. Navratilova emphasized the importance of their health, noting it as a crucial factor. Lopez further estimated that Sinner could secure around 12 titles, while he envisions Alcaraz winning approximately 14. Lopez also highlighted the challenging environment for players like Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and other contenders who face tough competition from Sinner and Alcaraz.

Marion Bartoli provided an even more optimistic prediction, estimating that Sinner and Alcaraz could each clinch between 15 and 18 Grand Slam titles. She noted Djokovic's potential to win a few more titles, potentially reaching 26 or 27, but emphasized that Sinner and Alcaraz are the most complete players. Former British No. 1 Henman added that it will be fascinating to see who among the emerging talents can challenge Sinner and Alcaraz for Grand Slam titles. He mentioned potential contenders like Ben Shelton, Tiafoe, Fritz from the Americans, Holger Rune, and Jack Draper, speculating on who will rise to compete with the dynamic duo.

In conclusion, the Sky Sports Tennis team agrees that Sinner and Alcaraz have the potential to dominate the Grand Slam landscape for years to come, leaving their contemporaries and younger challengers striving to keep up.
