The ATP world ranking has a system that is often misleading. How can that be? Carlos Alcaraz will continue to be No. Only 3 after back-to-back wins at Roland Garros and Wimbledon? There are 4,000 points, although 1,280 went into your account because the calendar year is not counted, but the previous 52 weeks. And he’s out for a couple of weeks with an injury during the spring.
Alcaraz had 720 points in Paris and 2,000 in London, which is why he did not move up or down in a classification where first place was assured for the Italian. Jannik Sinnerlost in the Wimbledon quarterfinals by Daniel Medvedev.
The Italian has 9,570 points, compared to 8,460 and 8,130 for Alcaraz, who is 1,440 away from the world number one. It’s a mirage. In reality, he put himself in a position to go No. 1, which is almost close to him.
Alcaraz seems long-term, his ambition is to lead as soon as possible, but his goal is to finish the season at No. Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
It is 250 points away from No. 1. This is indicated by the Race to Turin, which collects the results of the current season, which ends up coinciding with the world ranking at the end of the campaign. It is the perfect thermometer to know how tennis is going.
Sinner leads with 6,200, but Alcaraz already has 5,950, second, leaving the German Alexander Zverev (4,785).
And Novak Djokovic? The world number 2 remains with 8,460, but it has the most to cut in the coming months, it is far from the calculation of the year (3,160 guaranteed points, more than half of Alcaraz). Until the US Open he will defend 3,000, compared to Alcaraz’s 1,500 and Sinner’s 1,190, who will suffer from October.
Yes, Alcaraz is third now, but he’s going straight for No. 1, which seems to be an entelechy after the differences established by Jannik Sinner and suffered an arm injury on the dirt tour before Roland Garros, where the Spaniard started. to restore the situation.
