Jannik loses 450 points, Carlos can approach in case of success at Queen’s: but the real game in number 1 will be played after Wimbledon
Unexpected and heavy defeat for Jannik Sinner in Halle. Despite the Ko in three sets with Bublik the number one is armored until the end of Wimbledon and even beyond, the alarm has certainly not been taken, but the premature setting on the German grass at the hands of Bublik will cost the blue 450 points, given that the South Tyrolean defended the 500 points for the title conquered in 2024.

Sinner will therefore present himself to Wimbledon certainly as a number one series head, with 10450 points. How heavy will have been the stop in Halle di Jannik, at the ranking level, will be more accurate in the next few days, because Carlos Alcaraz, number 2 in the world, is playing at Queen’s and is already in the quarterfinals, with 50 points gnawed in Sinner. In case of victory, the Spaniard would recover another 400 points: the phenomenon of Murcia that would rise to 9300, at 1150 points from Sinner. Then Alcaraz will have to defend the 2000 points of Wimbledon won last year, against the 400 by Jannik (outside the quarterfinals in 2024), therefore the n. 1 of the Italian currently does not falter, but after London the situation will change all right, given that Alcaraz will have nothing to defend, just over 1000 points up to the Finals, against the over 6000 points of Jannik Sinner, who has practically won everything from Montreal onwards. Just in view of this, and waiting for the result of Alcaraz at Queen’s and obviously Wimbledon, this stop of Halle, for Jannik, just didn’t take.
