Alexander Zverev to pass Roger Federer on ATP ranking list after Miami

Speaking about the new ATP ranking system due to the coronavirus pandemic, Alexander Zverev said in Acapulco that he can't understand how he is still ranked behind Roger Federer.

Alexander claimed his 14th ATP title in Acapulco and the biggest since 2018, adding 500 points to his tally and still trailing behind the Swiss. As we all know, Roger has played only a couple of matches since the last year's Australian Open, struggling with a knee injury and staying in the top-10 thanks to his 2019 points.
