Novak Djokovic can become world No. 1 again: here are the scenarios (Provided by Tennis World FR)
The fight for the top spot in the ATP rankings between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic could hold some surprises in the coming weeks. At present, the gap in the ATP world rankings between the new Wimbledon champion and the Serbian star, who holds the record for weeks at the top of the rankings, is almost a thousand points. After the triumph in the UK, the Spaniard has moved a little ahead of the native of Belgrade and can feel comfortable in this position for several weeks, but not too long.
The next obstacles are represented by the Masters 1000 programmed in Toronto and Cincinnati, before arriving at the US Open for the last Grand Slam of the year.
Who will be at the top of the classification and therefore the top seed? The gap of 880 points will certainly be reduced to less than half in two weeks, as the 20-year-old will lose 450 (Hamburg’s 300 and Umag’s 150 collected last year after London).
Novak Djokovic can become world No. 1 again: here are the scenarios
The Spanish champion will start the Canada Open with an advantage of 430 points, and he is definitely very lucky: indeed, from Serbia, Nole’s withdrawal from the Toronto tournament seems almost certain.
Since he will only have to defend 10 points, Alcaraz will be able to significantly increase his score in the capital of the province of Ontario. If successful, Carlitos would secure first place until Flushing Meadows, otherwise the Cincinnati ATP will become decisive. In the American city, the duel between the two could be worth the summit in view of New York, where Djokovic would still have the possibility of returning to first place (0 points to defend for him, 2000 for Carlos since he is the title holder).
