The big battle for the first place on the ATP list is being fought between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
Namely, Djokovic will be number one again from today, because Alcaraz did not defend his title at the Masters tournament in Miami, but was defeated in the semifinals of the tournament by Jannik Sinner.
However, the real fight begins in ten days in Monte Carlo, where they will directly compete for the top of the tennis pyramid.
What is important for Novak is the fact that both tennis players are defending ten points each, so they will remain calm until the final, because the only thing that matters is that Alcaraz does not win the tournament.
After Monte Carlo, the young Spaniard has to defend two titles – in Barcelona (500 points) and Madrid (1,000) – while Novak defends the final from Belgrade (150) and then the semi-final from Madrid (360) in Banja Luka.
Then, it becomes increasingly difficult for Djokovic because he is defending 1,000 points (title) in Rome and 360 (quarterfinals) at Roland Garros. While the Spaniard did not play at the Foro Italico a year ago, he reached the quarterfinals in Paris.
What is obvious is that the next two months will be crucial for the top of the ATP list.
