There is no full top-4 of the ATP world ranking in the semifinals of the Australian Open. The games will be played this Friday Novak Djokovic (1)-Jannik Sinner (4) and Daniil Medvedev (3)-Alexander Zverev (6), who defeated Carlos Alcaraz (2) in the quarterfinals. Only the Serbian has been the champion of the tournament (ten times), but the Russian also has a record of Grand Slam titles. The Italian and the German are looking for their chance.
The fight for world number one in the ranking is doomed. Of the three candidates, the Russian fell out of the equation Daniel Medvedev with fewer options to regain the leadership he had in 2022. He fulfilled his personal goal, which was to become the champion of the event, but it required the failure of Djokovic and Alcaraz before the semifinals, which occurred in only one case .
Alcaraz, the No. 1 Djokovic will continue. The Spaniard could be in contention by going to the semi-finals. It never came.
Djokovic (11,055 points) started with a 2,200-point distance from Alcaraz (8,855), but actually the Balkan’s starting advantage in Melbourne was 200. He had to subtract 2,000 points from the champion in 2023, while the Spaniard only added if who was absent from the final edition due to injury. But it fell.
In the top-10, Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas dropped from seventh to tenth place. Australian Alex de Minaur dropped out of this group (11th), American Taylor Fritz returned, moving up three steps to ninth place.
