In the coming months there are several competitions scheduled in the world of tennis. The ATP Calendar soon has a Grand Slam at stake (US Open 2023), four Masters 1000 (Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai and Paris-Bercy), the Masters Cup and the Davis Cup. All this, before ending an exciting 2023.

Alcaraz in recent times is playing many tournaments and this makes there some concern about what it can cause in your muscle level. Alcaraz, despite only being 20 years old, has had several injuries and Many are surprised at how little rest the Murcian player is considering. Now he has a very complete American tour scheduled, with the Canadian and Cincinnati Masters 1000 as preludes to his title defense in Flushing Meadows.

The one from Murcia will not fail either in Canada or in Cincinnati. In principle, I was not going to play the Canadian Masters 1000, because it was very close to the ones in Cincinnati that are played once the ones in the city of Toronto have finished. In addition, Alcaraz does not play scoring in Canada. His greatest rival, whom he beat at Wimbeldon, Novak Djokovic, It is banned in the United States and Canada and does not defend a single point. The resignation of the Serb to compete in Canada makes him not depend on himself to recover number 1, although he keeps his options to do so intact if Alcaraz doesn’t pull off a big tour and he’s capable of getting the title in Cincinnati.

This allows Alcaraz keep number 1 at least until Cincinnati, where you can get to face Djokovic. A tight pulse is expected between the two players for the ‘fight’ to be number 1. The US Open 2023, scheduled between August 28 and September 10, is the last Grand Slam of the year, in which either of the two can be presented as number 1 in the ATP ranking.
