Ruud Claims Victory in Barcelona Open, Alcaraz’s Ranking Affected

The 500 ranking points awarded to its champion by the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell-Trofeo Conde de Godó were won by the Norwegian Casper Ruud, which in its first final won the RCT Barcelona-1899. It caused the Greek’s fourth defeat Stefanos Tsitsipas, who did not take advantage of the absence of his previous executioners, Rafa Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz.

For the Murcian, the loss due to a forearm injury meant a loss of 500 points, just when he will defend another 1,000 in the Mutua Madrid Open, which is now underway.

Another mishap for the El Palmar tennis player that affects the fight for number one with Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, who deducted 45 and 90 points, respectively, after not competing this week.

Alcaraz is left with 8,145, 1,845 from No. 1 Novak Djokovic (9,990) and 515 from No. 2 Jannik Sinner (8,860).

Djokovic He already announced his resignation from Madrid, but he did not compete there in 2023 either. In what remains of the land he will exhibit 2,180 (180 in Rome and 2,000 at Roland Garros).

Alcaraz He defends 1,765 (1,000 in Madrid, 45 in Rome and 720 in Paris), for only Sinner’s 135 (0 in Madrid, 90 in Rome and 45 at Roland Garros). There is open field for the transalpine to make his debut in the ATP leadership whether on dirt or in the transition to grass.

Godó has been more profitable for Ruud, who with 500 points establishes his presence in the world top-10. Consolidates sixth position, moves away from seventh, precisely Stefanos Tsitsipas, who had been his executioner in Monte Carlo.

Both are confirmed among the best in the Race so far this season. In the same, Alcaraz He is only the seventh player in points scored in 2024, after adding the problem in his forearm to the ankle injury suffered in Rio due to a fall in his debut.
