Frances Tiafoeafter winning the tournament title in Stuttgart (Germany), reached the best historical ranking by reaching the top 10, which is still dominated by Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, who this week could take first place from the Serbian if he wins the Queen’s tournament.
Accounts are very simple: it is only worth winning the title. Alcaraz (7,175) is currently 420 points behind Djokovic (7,595)so that only 500 that the champion gets will help him to get back to the top of the ranking.
In the event of becoming a finalist, for example, he will add 300 (7,475) and he will remain 120 behind the Serbian.who has already announced that he will not compete again until Wimbledon.
That’s where the next battle for number 1 will take place since, whatever happens at Queen’s, there is very little difference between the twoso that either one is in a position to surpass the other.
As already happened at Roland Garros, both defend the same number of points at Wimbledon, in this case 0. The tournament’s decision to ban the participation of Russian and Belarusian players caused the ATP to impose a penalty of not counting points, so that all players add up all the points they achieved on the grass of the All England Tennis Club this year. .
Alcaraz’s main rivals at Queen’s, in the absence of any last-minute invitations, They will be the Danish Holger Rune and the American Taylor Fritz.
After Alcaraz, second, the remaining Spaniards in the leading road are Pablo Carreño (20), Roberto Bautista (23), Alejandro Davidovich (33), Bernabé Zapata (50), Roberto Carballés (52) and Albert Ramos (72).
