Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will face each other in the semi-final of Roland Garros, which will be staged on Friday 7 June on the red clay of Parisi. A particularly close confrontation promises to be between the new number 1 and number 3 in the world, both eager to get the upper hand in the ninth act of their very balanced personal saga (4-4). The South Tyrolean champion, already capable of raising the trophy to the sky at the Australian Open, hopes to knock out the Iberian, who has already won his career at Wimbledon and the US Open.
At stake is qualification for the final round to be played against the winner of the match between the Norwegian Casper Ruud and the German Alexander Zverev. Jannik Sinner leads the world rankings with 9,525 points, while Carlos Alcaraz occupies third position with 7,380 points. Self if the blue were to win then he would fly to 10,025 and he would thus have a margin of 1,665 points over the Serbian Novak Djokovic and 2,645 over the Iberian.
Alcaraz would move to 7,880 points in the event of success, but would remain behind Djokovic (8,360): to overtake the Balkan player and become number 2 he would have to win the tournament, thus reaching 8,580 points. If Sinner were to win the tournament he would fly to 10,725, deserving a sidereal advantage over his closest pursuers. Tomorrow’s semi-final is in fact worth 500 points for the winner (1,300 points overall considering the 800 already brought home by both), the winner of the tournament earns 2,000 points.
