Alcaraz wins, Sinner is KO: this is how the world ranking remains before the ‘sorpasso’ at world No. 1

Carlos Alcaraz He is once again champion, not only of the ATP 500 tournament in Tokyo, in which he defended his title, but of the circuit, which missed him so much during his almost five-month absence due to the wrist injury. He already lost his first title after being dropped, in his second individual tournament.

Quarterfinalist in the US Open, champion with Europe in the London Laver Cup, winner again in Tokyo, where he remains undefeated after ten games. He defeated the Czech in the final Jiri Leheckaby 7-6 (4) and 6-4.

He repeats the 500 points for the world ranking, which will put the figure of 5,560 in his locker, of which 4,550 correspond to the current season. He remains third in the standings, moving up from fourth to third place in the Race to Turin.

He is qualified for the ATP Finals in the Italian city, he is sowing more for the future than the present in terms of ranking. Look at the title of ‘master’, at the Davis Cup, more than at the points.

With the final KO announced by the Italian Jannik Sinnerwho will not compete again until 2027, will subtract 3,550 points and the world number one will be for the German Alexander Zverev. The ‘sorpasso’, which will occur in a few weeks, but not after the Shanghai Masters 1000 ATP, the next event, will be until the conclusion of the course.

Alexander Zverev will occupy world No. 1 for the first time, and he will also be in 2026. Alcaraz cannot aspire to that position, he is 4,200 real points behind the German, and his maximum until the end of the campaign is 3,500 points, since he will compete in Shanghai, Paris and Turin.
