Carlos Alcaraz He seemed to have 750 points in his bag for his world ranking, but a hamstring injury in his right leg, at the point where he had to give up the Australian Open, meant he lost the final in Rio de Janeiro against Cameron Norrie. From the champion’s 500 to the finalist’s 300, including the 250 who have been the best ever in Buenos Aires.
In addition, the Murcian cannot aim for 500 for the winner of the Acapulco ATP in progress. Between seven and eight weeks stopped to heal his right thigh, with enough time to try to show himself in good condition in Indian Wells ATP Masters 1000where it will air on Friday 10 or Saturday 11 March.

Without Alcaraz in Acapulco, Novak Djokovic He begins his ATP 500 journey in Dubai, his first competition since the Australian Open, knowing that his world number one, which he regained in Melbourne, is not in danger.
He had the option of fleeing from Alcaraz, but the Russian crossed his path Daniel Medvedev suffered his first loss after a 20 game winning streak, his first of 2023. Losing in the semifinals, he gained 180 ranking points (without reaching the goal of 500), raising his lead over El Palmar to 380 points.
A small difference. Alcaraz will defend 1,360 points between Indian Wells and Miami. Djokovic does not yet know if he will be able to participate. He requested a special permit to enter the United States, which will not lift the ban on foreigners who have not been vaccinated against covid until May.
Rafael Nadal he will lose another position in the ranking next Monday, he will appear in ninth, overtaken by the Danish Holger Runein the Acapulco semifinals.
The Spaniard will surely provide 600 finalist points of Indian Wells 2022, which means saying goodbye to the top-10 for the first time since April 2005, after more than 900 uninterrupted weeks in this elite club in the ATP rankings.
