Carlos Alcaraz lost second place in the ranking. He becomes number 3 after being overtaken by the German Alexander Zverev. And there is a former tennis player who harshly criticized the functioning of this ranking. He doesn’t understand the distribution of points and Carlitos’ third position.
This is the Italian tennis player Adriano Panattawho in ‘Rai Due’, asked for explanations on this ranking: “It’s curious that Zverev became world number 2 in Paris ahead of Alcaraz. Zverev won two Masters 1,000 this year, Alcaraz has won two Grand Slam tournaments like Jannik and is number 3…”.
“I think if a tennis player wins Wimbledon and Roland Garros in one season, he should be number one or two. and not a tennis player who won minor tournaments. I don’t know what about this ATP algorithm. A player’s ranking should be determined by Grand Slam victories and not by average wins and losses. And everyone rightly complains about this algorithm,” says the Italian.
About his compatriot Jannik Sinner, number 1 highlighted this year, believes he did well not to participate in certain tournaments to rest: “Sinner did well to rest a week and not play the Masters 1,000 in Paris. And I have one thing sure: he is clearly the favorite for the ATP final.
THE ATP Finals This is the next challenge for great tennis players. From November 10 to 17 in Turin. They will participate Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz, Casper Ruud, Alex de Minaur and Andrey Rublev.
