Carlos Alcaraz, who was sidelined by an untimely injury to his right arm from the Monte Carlo Masters 1,000, in whose 2024 edition he would have debuted this Wednesday against the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, will continue to be third in the ATP rankings, but He could be almost 2,000 points behind Serbian Novak Djokovic and more than 700 behind Italian Jannik Sinner.

The young tennis player from Murcia, 20 years old and who in 25 days, on May 5, will turn 21, was forced to give up playing in Monaco due to a physical issue and may move further away from the leadership in the international ranking when he had the possibility of stepping on the heels of the one who commands him -Djokovic- and of overtaking the one who unseated him from second position in Miami -Sinner-.

Alcaraz, who only played on Monegasque clay in 2022 and lost in his debut against the American Sebastian Korda 6-7 (2), 7-6 (5) and 3-6, did not defend any points in this competition because he did not play last year in this tournament but You had the ability to add up to 1,000 points to your account.

Then, if he recovers and is in the following tournaments to be held on clay, he would defend the 500 points of the Conde de Godó Trophy in Barcelona and the 1,000 of the Mutua Madrid Open, two championships in which he has won the last two years.

Thus, waiting to know how it evolves from the discomfort it brings, Juan Carlos Ferrero’s pupil will continue with the 8,645 points he currently has while Djokovic has 9,725 and if he wins the title he would reach 10,635. The one from Belgrade fell in the round of 16 of the 2023 edition against the Italian Lorenzo Musetti 6-4, 5-7 and 4-6.

For its part, Sinner has 8,710 and his cap in Monte Carlo would be 9,350. Last year, San Candido lost in the semifinals against the Danish Holger Rune 6-1, 5-7 and 5-7.

The fourth in contention is the Russian Daniil Medvedev, with 7,165 points and could reach 7,985 at the Monte Carlo Country Club. Rune closed the way for him in the quarterfinals, beating him 3-6 and 4-6 in a championship that ended up being won by another Russian like Andrey Rublev, beating Rune in the final precisely by coming back 5-7, 6-2 and 7-5.

The Monte-Carlo Masters 1000 can be followed live through STAR+ for all of Latin America.
