Carlos Alcaraz He broke the tie with Jannik Sinner, achieved his fifth victory in nine official matches on the main professional circuit, and will play this Sunday in his first final at Roland Garros, his third Grand Slam final. He won two more, at the US Open 2022 and Wimbledon 2023.
A win that means 500 more points for Alcaraz in the world ranking, including the 500 he will take away from who will be world number one in the next ranking, on Monday, after this Roland Garros.
Jannik Sinner He will make history as the first Italian to top the ATP rankings, with 9,525 points. Carlos Alcaraz is guaranteed 7,880, which will be 8,580 if he lifts the Musketeers Cup, worth dethroning Serbian Novak Djokovic in second place, who dropped 1,600 points (8,360) after withdrawing in the quarterfinals due to a meniscus injury that caused him visit to the operating room.
Although sinful will have an advantage of 945 points against Alcaraz, the latter is in fact re-engaging in the fight for world number one. Not in the medium term, but thinking about the summer and the final stretch of the course. Their goal is to finish the season at No. 1.
The emergence of the transalpine, champion of the Australian Open, with his own problems due to an ankle injury in Rio and unable to play Monte Carlo, Godó and Rome due to muscle edema in his right forearm, has left Alcaraz.
beating sinful, he has 5,300 Race points (guaranteed points until the end of 2024), compared to Alcaraz’s 3,200, which would be 3,900 if he were champion. It seems like a lot, but there is still the second half of the campaign left, two Grand Slams.
At Roland Garros, Alcaraz bucked the Sinner trend, which he had already surpassed in the semis of Indian Wells. So far this year, in direct confrontations it is 2-0 for the Murcian.
