On Monday 10 November Alcaraz will return to the top of the rankings: the points from the Turin 2024 Finals will come from the blue’s spoils. And at the Finals he will be seeded number 2
Jannik Sinner will begin his sixty-sixth week as world no.1 tomorrow, fifty-four days after the lost US Open final which had given Carlos Alcaraz the ranking throne. In the November 3rd ranking, Sinner will have 11500 points against the 11250 of the Iberian champion. For now, unfortunately, it is a joy that will only last seven days. In fact, on Monday 10 November, the Spaniard will return to the top of the rankings and the South Tyrolean will drop back to second place.

Why? Simple: Jannik is in a certain sense a “victim” of the extraordinary ride of 2024. In fact, next week the points from last year’s Turin Finals will be released, won triumphantly by the Italian without even losing a match, which earned him 1500 points. Loot that Sinner will lose, momentarily, on Monday. In this way, on November 10th Jannik will find himself with 10,000 points in the standings against 11,050 for Alcaraz, who will “enjoy” last year’s disastrous Finals, when he was eliminated already in the group by winning only one match. Success which earned him 200 points, which the Spaniard will also lose next week. By virtue of this, Alcaraz will arrive in Turin as world number one, with 1050 points ahead of Jannik Sinner.
