The tennis season is about to come to an end with the ATP Finals as the last event on the calendar of the eight best rackets on the circuit. A 2023 in which the fight for the ATP throne had not been so close since 2018, with seven alternations between the two leaders of world tennis.
With 1255 points of difference compared to the third, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic They have been the most serious candidates to compete for the ATP title. After giving up the crown at the US Open, the Murcian tennis player depended on making a good performance in the last part of the season. But The good results did not accompany him either on the Asian tour or on the European hard court tour..
Falling first in the Paris-Bercy Masters 1000, where his greatest rival lifted the title, took away his real chances of finishing the year the same as last year, as number 1.
The only possibility left for Alcaraz to overtake Djokovic is that the Serbian does not win a single match and that he is proclaimed Master at the Pala Alpitour in Turin. A practically impossible circumstance, given the magnificent state of form of the greatest champion of majors.
The great year of Carlos Alcaraz
Even so, the last stretch should not tarnish Carlos Alcaraz’s great year. Leader, along with ‘Nole’, in number of trophies this 2023 (6) and second, after Medvedev, in number of games won, with 63. The only one capable of preventing the Balkan tennis player from lifting the four Grand Slams of the course signs better results than in 2022.
He is still the leader in 1000 category tournamentswhich allows him to qualify for the $20 million bonus that the ATP distributes among the 30 best tennis players of the nine Masters 1000 and the Turin Finals.
