Carlos Alcaraz is currently in the spotlight after the 22-year-old thumped Jannik Sinner in four sets to claim the second US Open title of his career on Sunday.
The Spaniard was at his brilliant best during the showdown at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, producing a masterclass to dethrone Sinner as champion.
The result also means Alcaraz is now the world No 1 in tennis again, too.
With the pair dominating the sport, GB News journalists will now give their verdicts on who will end up with more majors by the end of their respective careers.

Alcaraz is a force of nature. While Sinner is brilliant, his rival is currently levels above.
The Spaniard doesn't look likely to slow down any time soon. The way he dismantled his rival on Sunday was a sight to behold - with the emphatic result one that few saw coming.
Alcaraz already has multiple majors on grass, clay and hard court surfaces. Given he's a specialist on them all, his winning run is likely to go on.
Sinner will win more majors. Of course he will. He's too good not to.
But it's Alcaraz who I believe will retire with more Grand Slam titles to his name - though hopefully not for a long time yet!

The US Open gave us a glimpse of Alcaraz at his very best. Yes, there were question marks over Sinner’s fitness - even before the tournament started - but Alcaraz’s ceiling just seems to be so much higher than his rival's.
The Spaniard has an astonishing arsenal of weapons at his disposal. The indefensible serve, the inhuman forehand and the movement of a jaguar.
His ball-striking is out of this world and there is simply no way to play against him when he is in top form.

The past few months have seen Alcaraz mature dramatically, with prone moments of rawness now exceedingly rare in his game today.
There is every possibility that Alcaraz not only beats Sinner to more Grand Slam titles, but also claims the record off Novak Djokovic too.
However, tennis will need this rivalry - the best in sport right now. No one can beat Alcaraz except Sinner and no one can beat Sinner but Alcaraz.
LATEST SPORTS NEWS:
Fintan Starkey: Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz will easily win more Grand Slams than Jannik Sinner.
Not only is Alcaraz younger, but on his day, he is unbeatable. Having seen the final last night, it confirmed this for me.
The 22-year-old’s serving ability is unmatched and makes him almost unplayable.
During the final, around 50 per cent of the Spaniard’s first serves were not returned by Sinner.
Regardless of how good a player you are, there is nothing you can do against serving like that.
Sinner is an incredible player, and the rivalry between the two has been phenomenal to watch so far.
It’s likely to continue for many years, but if Alcaraz keeps at the level he played at last night, he will be well clear of any men's player and not just yesterday's opponent.

Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon but has lost six times to his nemesis
| PABetween two players that have won nine of the last 10 Grand Slams, it is a bit of a toss of a coin.
But Alcaraz, who is now world No 1, edges it for me.
He has won three of the four tournaments twice and if he can crack the Australian Open in January, he will have a big chance of dominating even more.
Despite Sinner's recent Wimbledon win, Alcaraz looks more comfortable on grass and that could be the key difference between the two in the coming years ahead.
