Alcaraz reign as World Number One over after 20 weeks, Djokovic or Tsitsipas to take over from Monday
ATPFriday, 27 January 2023 at 17:30
Carlos Alcaraz won't be the number-one player in the world on Monday as either Novak Djokovic or Stefanos Tsitsipas will take over after 20 weeks of the Spaniard's rule.
Alcaraz has been holding the number-one spot comfortably for a while but now it's going to end. His injury left him unable to defend any points he won at last year's Australian Open and that allows players like Djokovic and Tsitsipas to take over the number one spot from him. Both of them need a win to do so it's certain that one of them will.
Djokovic might return to being number one, something many consider him anyway while Tsitsipas might reach the spot for the first time in his career. Alcaraz's first stint ends at 20 weeks, already more than Medvedev, Safin or Becker spent as number one in the world. He's tied with Mats Wilander but will improve on that in the future.

- Must be okay to do this because WTA apparently could care less. They seem to be even more distant since the Saudi's filled their personal bank accounts. This particular smashing was extreme... and in front of so many little children who (unfortunately in some cases) look up to these players.
mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear. Not to mention how any compassion, concerns, or sensibility toward the general overall health of players likely went away with their filthy Saudi pocket money.mandoist02-05-2024
