The race reopens first, after Sinner’s victory in Beijing and the renunciation of the Spaniard at the Chinese Masters 1000. Here are all the calculations
The victory of the Beijing Tournament allows Jannik Sinner to shorten the distance from the n.1 of the world Carlos Alcaraz, and with the flat rate of the Spanish champion in Shanghai things are interesting. The blue could also return to the top by the end of the year, even for a week. In fact, the South Tyrolean would be n.1 in the world winning Shanghai and after the ATP 500 of Vienna, where it is regularly registered. Unlike Alcaraz, who at present should only return to the field in Paris. The ranking now sees Alcaraz number 1 with 11,540 points, Sinner number 2 at 10,950.

As mentioned, now, the Spaniard will be absent in the Chinese 1000, where instead Jannik will be on the field to defend the title of 2024, and therefore he will not be able to earn points and climbing over the Iberian, given that the Spaniard will lose only 200 points, those obtained in Shanghai last year, and therefore will reach 11,340 points. So Carlos will remain stationary at this score to Paris, while Sinner, winning in Vienna, would arrive at 11,450 points in the ranking of October 27, returning to being n.1 in the world. Not for a long time, though. Not even in the best hypothesis for Sinner, however, or an en plein of titles, and at the same time the worst one for Alcaraz, or an elimination of the debut in Paris, Jannik will be able to start the number 1 Finals in the world. The reason is simple: the points of the 2024 edition will be reduced before the start of the Turin tournament. Sinner, who triumphed unbeaten last year, will lose 1500, while Alcaraz only 200 (he won only one game). Which of course in Alcaraz is very comfortable. Then, it is not said that Alcaraz did not participate in any tournament before the 1000 in Paris. It is true that he is currently not enrolled by anyone (not in Vienna, not in Basel), but nobody prevents him for example from asking for a Wild Card and also go down on the pitch, to “copy” the moves of the ranking opponent. The advantage of the South Tyrolean for this season finale, paradoxically, lies in the fact that she has skipped three months in 2025 for the Climbing affair. But without that, we would probably be making very different speeches on the world of the world….
