Jannik Sinner withdrew, Carlos Alcaraz was eliminated and Novak Djokovic did not participate to the tournament ATP Masters 1000 in Madridand therefore the situation crystallized in ATP rankingswhose official update will be released on Monday 6 May.
Sinner reached the quarter-finals in the Madrid tournament and then withdrew: the blue player, who was at 8660 points on Monday 22 April, will therefore find himself at 8660 points on Monday 8860and will confirm the second position, moving to +1515 on Carlos Alcaraz.
The Italian tennis player did not reach the semi-finals in Madrid, therefore it becomes arithmetically impossible to overtake Djokovic already in Romeso you have to look at Paris for the number 1 ATP: Djokovic by skipping Madrid remained at altitude 9990seeing descend to 1130 points the margin on Sinner (they were 1330 Monday 22nd).
The Serbian will lose soon i 180 points of Rome (fourth in 2023), while in Paris he will have to say goodbye to the 2000 of last year’s victory, instead the blue will lose 135 points between Rome (90 for last year’s round of 16) and Roland Garros (45 points for the second round of 2023.
With the current distance between the two, considering the gaps, should the Serbian and the Italian obtain the same points in RomeSinner would leave again ahead of Djokovic at the start of the Transalpine Slam by 915 points.
Tennis, updated Olympic rankings: Italians currently qualified for Paris 2024. A missing pass among women
