That Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are good friends is something we all knowbasically because they both highlight it every chance they get.
We experienced the latest example this Sunday, when the Italian was proclaimed champion of the Australian Open and, Almost the first greeting he received was from the Wimbledon champion.
“I’m so happy for you, Jannik! You deserve it more than anyone! Enjoy the moment, friend!“Wrote the Murcian on his Instagram account in a post that he accompanied with a photo of both embracing at the end of a match.
With his win, Sinner also saved Alcaraz’s number 2 ranking.who would have lost to Medvedev had he won the final in Australia.
His victory in Melbourne, which involved adding 1,820 to the 2,000 points allocated for the win, since defending them 180 from their eighth in the previous edition, have not yet allowed them to improve in the ATP classification. He will remain fourth for a week.
However, this is a serious warning to Novak Djokovic, who continues to lead but has dropped 1,200 pointsand Carlos Alcaraz, who added 400 since he started in the beginning without playing in 2023 due to injury.
Medvedevwhich started with No. math options. 1 in Melbourne, needing a victory and a bigger setback from the Serbian and Spanish that didn’t happen, It also consolidated itself in the ranking with 1,210 more points.
The Muscovite reached the ATP dominance on February 28, 2022. He has dominated for 22 weeks, while Alcaraz has dominated for 36. A record for Djokovic, which will last at least 414 weeks, since March 3 is the no. mathematically to you.
The bidding for No. 1 narrowed between the top four. If Djokovic’s distance with Sinner was 4,565 points, it has been reduced to 1,545.
Alcaraz is 600 behind Djokovicwith Medvedev close behind, at 490 points, and Sinner, at 945.
Number one is going to be expensive, especially at the end of the season. Djokovic has a cushion that he didn’t share at Indian Wells and Miami 203, it will only add to it, but from Roland Garros to Wimbledon the match is sure to heat up.
