The distance between the two is therefore minimal, but Jannik has an advantage: in Shanghai, the next tournament he will participate, he will be able to take advantage of the absence of Alcaraz (forced to stop to solve the ankle problem). The number one in the world will thus lose the 200 points of last year, while Sinner will have to defend the 1000 points of the title won in 2024. He should succeed, the gap would go down to 390 points.
Sinner returns number 1 before the ATP Finals?
There is another element to consider. Alcaraz is not registered in the Basel and Vienna tournaments. Sinner, on the other hand, will participate in the Austrian ATP 500 and if he wins it would rise to 11450 points, which would vary the primacy at the top of the ATP ranking for 110 points. The company will not be simple, because Jannik will take a path of only victories, but it is not even impossible. By winning all the matches of the next two tournaments, the blue could return the dominant of the ranking before the Masters 1000 in Pariswhich did not take part last year. Then the Grand finale at the ATP Finals in Turinin which Jannik could embrace Italy from number one.
