ATP Race to Turin Update: Novak DJOKOVIC drops out of top eight as Ruud and Tsitsipas make huge leaps
ATPMonday, 22 April 2024 at 21:30
Jannik
Sinner remains the leader in the ATP Race to Turin, while Casper Ruud and
Stefanos Tsitsipas rise after the ATP 500 Barcelona Open. Novak Djokovic, on
the other hand, continues to be outside the qualification spots for the ATP
Finals and is in 9th place.
The
young Italian didn't compete in any events last week but comfortably maintains
the top spot in the rankings with 4310 points, thanks to his three titles this
year at the Australian Open, Rotterdam Open, and Miami Open, as well as
semifinal appearances in Indian Wells and Monte-Carlo Masters.
Sinner
leads with a considerable distance ahead of his nearest rival Daniil Medvedev
in second place. The Russian hasn't secured titles yet but has been
consistently strong with finals appearances at the Aussie Open and Indian
Wells, as well as semifinals in Dubai and the Miami Open, despite his early
exit in the Monte-Carlo round of 16. The former world No. 1 was not in
competition during the past week.
Those
who have regained ground and have positioned themselves well are the finalists
of the Monte-Carlo and Barcelona Open: Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas. The
Norwegian secured his first ATP 500 title on Sunday and rose to the third
position in the Race, while the runner-up Tsitsipas is in 5th place.
Tsitsipas and Ruud are the players who have accumulated the most points since the start of the clay swing.
Others
maintaining high positions include Alexander Zverev (4th), Alex De Minaur
(6th), Carlos Alcaraz (7th), and Grigor Dimitrov (8th). The 24-times Grand Slam
champion and world No. 1 Novak Djokovic is only in 9th place, considering he
has only played in three events this year. His recent confirmation of absence
from the Madrid Open suggests he may continue to drop positions in the ATP
Race.
