This is how the world rankings look after Alcaraz and Djokovic fall at the US Open

“No power.” “Confused.” Two sentences that came out in twenty-four hours from the lips of Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. First the Spanish surrendered, before the Dutch Botic Van from Zandschulp in the second round, and the next day the Serbian, current champion, fell to the Australian Alexei Popyrin in the third round.

It is no coincidence that they are the stars of the land of Roland Garros (champion Carlos, Nole knee surgery), the grass of Wimbledon (Spanish title against the Balkans) and again the land of Roland Garros for the Paris Olympic Games ( gold from Novak and silver from Murcia).

They melt. And they paid for it at the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the season. A definite setback, although a reason to think about what to do until the end of the campaign. Alcaraz has the world number one of the season as one of the main goals, and it is very difficult for him. Djokovic He will struggle to secure a spot at the ATP Finals in Turin, finishing in the best eight on the course.

Alcaraz left 670 points in New York, while Djokovic dropped 1,900. The Spanish will continue to be third, unless the Russian Daniel Medvedev I will remove his position if he is US Open champion. The Serbian is definitely dropping from second to fourth place, he could be fifth depending on how the Muscovite does.

Two great beneficiaries. No. 1 Jannik Sinner, which establishes his position, and the German Alexander Zverevwhich rises to the second position in the ranking. The Italian currently leads with 9,280 points, compared to the German’s 6,875 and Alcaraz’s 6,690, 2,590 off the lead.

Although this distance is actually 1,090, according to Race ATP, which reflects the points accumulated this season and which will be the one that will lead to the end of the course. sinful He has 7,100 points, although this will increase to 9,000 if he lifts the trophy in New York, compared to 6,010 Alcarazwhich can be exceeded by Zverev (6.010) and Medvedev (4.120).

Djokovic is seventh, with 3,260, when there are eight to join the Masters event, with people behind with room to continue adding to US Open. An issue that could force him to extend the party’s agenda until November.
