Live Rankings. Why Alcaraz Can Overtake Djokovic Before The Us Open
Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic are currently engaged in a close battle for the top spot in the ATP rankings as they prepare for the final stretch of the season leading up to the US Open. Following the Paris Olympics, where Djokovic secured a gold medal in a highly anticipated final against Alcaraz, the focus now shifts to the American hardcourt tournaments.
The Masters 1000 events in Montreal and Cincinnati will serve as crucial preparation for players aiming to fine-tune their games before the US Open in New York, the final Grand Slam of the year. However, both Alcaraz and Djokovic have opted to skip the Montreal tournament, allowing themselves time to recover from the grueling Olympic schedule.
While Djokovic has announced that he will also be absent from the Cincinnati Masters, choosing to rest and recuperate his knee, Alcaraz is expected to participate in the Cincinnati event. The decision for Djokovic to skip Cincinnati comes after his victory in Ohio last year, where he defeated Alcaraz in the final. The 37-year-old Serb is focusing on preserving his energy for the demanding best-of-five-set matches at the US Open.
Meanwhile, Alcaraz, who was recently seen vacationing in Mallorca with his brother Alvaro and friends, appears ready to return to competition. The young Spaniard, a four-time Grand Slam champion, is aiming to regain his momentum after the disappointment of the Paris Olympics and will likely use the Cincinnati tournament to sharpen his skills ahead of the US Open.
The absence of Djokovic from the upcoming Masters events provides Alcaraz with an opportunity to close the gap in the ATP rankings and potentially overtake Djokovic before the US Open. As the tennis world awaits the final major of the season, the rivalry between Alcaraz and Djokovic continues to captivate fans, setting the stage for a thrilling conclusion to the year.
