Jannik Sinner is already certain to stay number 1 in the ATP ranking until the end of the year: the blue, after winning the Six Kings Slam exhibition tournament, will not play next week, then will return to the field for the Masters 1000 in Paris-Bercy, will stop another week and then will attack the ATP Finals.
This is a common program Spanish Carlos Alcaraz, Serbian Novak Djokovic and Russian Daniil Medvedev (even if the last two are not yet mathematically qualified for the Finals), while the teutonico Alexander Zverev he will be the only one among the top 5 in the rankings to also take the field in Vienna.
Until the end of the season Jannik Sinner he will have to defend everything 1590 pointsthe result of the final reached at the ATP Finals, the victory in Vienna, a title he will not defend, and the round of 16 in Paris-Bercy, while Novak Djokovic will have to discard it 2300by virtue of victories at the ATP Finals (with a defeat in the group stage) and in Paris-Bercy.
They will be 710 the points to be defended by the russo Daniil Medvedevwho in turn will not defend the final reached last year in Vienna, lost against Sinner, while both the tedesco Alexander Zverevwhich will discard it 580both theIberian Carlos Alcarazwhich he will have to give up 410 points.
Does Sinner’s victory not count in the precedents with Alcaraz? It goes to balance another ‘ghost’ comparison from the past
