The Italian Jannik Sinner22 years old, the new champion of the Australian Open, who replaced the Serbian Novak Djokovic, whom he defeated in the semifinals. Two days later, in the first Grand Slam final, he defeated the Russian Daniel Medvedev.
Sinner, recent Davis Cup champion, ATP Finals finalist, definitely joined the group assigned to him due to the conditions. He is a potential candidate for every title decided in men’s tennis, also a serious contender to debut at world number one.
His victory in Melbourne, which means adding 1,820 to the 2,000 points allocated to the winner, since 180 defended them from their round of 16 in the previous edition, has not yet allowed him to progress in the ATP classification. He will remain fourth for a week.
However, this is a serious warning to Novak Djokovic which continues to lead but cuts 1,200 points, and Carlos Alcaraz, who added 400 since he started at the beginning without playing in 2023 due to injury.
The Russian Daniel Medvedevwhich started with the mathematical options of No. 1 in Melbourne, needing a victory and a bigger setback for the Serbian and the Spaniard that did not happen, also consolidated itself in the rankings 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 Djokovic, with Medvedev behind him, on 490 points, and Sinner, on 945.
Number one is going to be expensive, especially at the end of the season. Djokovic He has the cushion that he didn’t take part in at Indian Wells and Miami 203, it will only add to it, but from Roland Garros to Wimbledon the battle is definitely heating up.
