Accounts are clear once Carlos Alcaraz found out that he could not join the ATP Finals in Turinfrom November 13 to 20, due to the stomach injury he suffered in the quarterfinals of the Paris-Bercy tournament and which will keep him out of tennis for six weeks.
Farewell before the season in which he was champion of Rio de Janeiro, Miami, Godó, Madrid and the US Open, where he became the youngest number one in history at the age of 19, on September 12.
They are eight weeks at the top of the ATP classification, with two more to go. His goal in terms of ranking is to maintain this leadership until the end of the campaign, to be the last number one in the world of the year, something he has only achieved in Spanish tennis. Rafael Nadalcertainly a candidate to usurp this condition from Murcian, as well as Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Alcaraz closed with 6,820 points. He has a 1,000 lead over Nadal (5,820) and 1,470 over Tsitsipas, who added 5,350 after being eliminated in the Paris-Bercy semifinals by Novak Djokovic.
Rafa must become the Masters Final champion, an event that does not appear on his record, or stand in the final having won four previous matches.
Tsitsipas was the best in the 2019 edition, with 4 wins and one loss. Now, being the undefeated champion (1,500 points) is worth it and Nadal has yet to reach 600. Every victory in the group stage gives 200, 400 more for the best in the semifinals and an extra 500 just for anyone who lifts of the trophy by dominating. the final one.
Distribution of players will be done in pairs according to ranking. Without Carlos Alcaraz (1), everything starts with Rafa Nadal and ends with the Spaniard’s replacement, the Estonian Taylor Fritz (9).
The pairs in the draw are Nadal (2)-Stefanos Tsitsipas (3), Casper Ruud (4)-Daniil Medvedev (5), Felix Auger-Aliassime (6)-Andrey Rublev or Novak Djokovic (who will be 7 if he wins the Paris-Bercy tournament), Andrey Rublev or Novak Djokovic (8 if he loses in the Paris final)-Tayor Fritz (9).
The first reserve becomes the Pole Hubert Hurkaczalthough this condition disappears if the dane Holger Rune He was the champion of Paris-Bercy at the expense of Novak Djokovic.
