Jannik Sinner He will be the first Italian to take the world number one in the ATP ranking. He has all the numbers to confirm this promotion at Roland Garros, he arrived even before the time sometimes the Serbian Novak Djokovic He suffered a knee injury that prevented him from playing in the quarterfinals.
Carlos Alcaraz He has no mathematical option to regain the lead, and it will be difficult for him to aim for No. 1 in the coming weeks as he defends 2,500 points on grass as the reigning champion of the Queen’s and Wimbledon tournaments. Although his outlook, after an arm injury that frustrated his usual intense schedule on the ground, is medium and long term. His intention was to reach the end of the course that could discuss #1 with anyone.
And for this it is decided to stop it sinful in the semifinals of Roland Garros, rejoining the 2024 season, where the transalpine has already consolidated 5,300 points, while the Spaniard has only obtained 2,700, which will be 3,900 if he wins his first crown in Paris. It will be 1,400 points behind its biggest rival, a difference that won’t be too big with so much left in the campaign.
In terms of ranking, where things are happening gradually due to the effect of ‘defensive’ points compared to 2023, Carlos Alcaraz It has a maximum of 8,580 points, when Sinner will at least leave Paris with 9,525.
Alcaraz (80 points) began to add by equalizing the semifinals in Paris, which from this year the prize money is 800 and not 270 as before, in all Grand Slams. Sinner has won 755 since he started at 45 in the second round of 2023.
The Murcian will be No. 2 after Roland Garros if he is champion, leaves Djokovic. He is also in danger of falling from third to fourth place. To do this he had to lose in the semis against Sinner and the German Alexander Zverev lift the Musketeers Cup.
For Alcaraz lose sinful This means a lot, for Roland Garros, their direct rivalry and will also have an impact on the ranking, for the second half of the campaign.
