ROMA (ITALPRESS) – In light of the Atp ranking published today, the presence of Jannik Sinner at the Caja Magica in Madrid can direct the duel with Carlos Alcaraz for the place of number 1 of the world for the duration of the season on the land beat. The number 1 blue has 390 points of advantage on the Spanish rival, which will not be staged in Madrid. Sinner, who began his 68th week as leader of the world ranking, in Madrid you play a great chance to extend his stay at the top of the ranking.
The South Tyrolean, in fact, did not play in Madrid last year and arrived in the final at the International of Italy, so it will lose 650 points on May 18. Alcaraz, who won the title at the Forum, at that date can at the most maintain the current 12.960 points. Sinner, on the other hand, arriving in the semi-final at the Caja Magica will guarantee the mathematical certainty to remain number 1 of the world even after the Internationals and therefore until Sunday, June 7, the day of the final of Roland Garros.
It would reach the 74-week career from number 1, surpassing Stefan Edberg in the eleventh place in the all-time ranking of players who have spent more time at the top since the computerized Atp ranking was introduced in 1973.
The one just spent was the week of Flavio Cobolli, who reached his fifth career in Munich. Although defeated by Ben Shelton, thanks to this result he earned three positions in the standings and equaled his best ranking of n.13 in the world. So today Italy is the only nation with three players among the top 15 in the world ranking, since Lorenzo Musetti keeps the ninth square.

RANKING WTA: SABALENKA AL COMANDO, PAOLINI SCENDE AL NONO POSTO
Some three-colored variations in the women’s world chart published this morning by the WTA after the conclusion of the “500” in Stuttgart, Germany, and the “250” in Rouen, France, both on the indoor red earth. Also this week are always two blues among the first hundred. Three-coloured leader is still Jasmine Paolini: the 29-year-old of Bagni di Lucca, however, does not confirm the semi-final points on the German “red” of 2025 and takes a step back, going down in ninth position. Behind her, stable Elisabetta Cocciaretto, at number 41. There are five steps, however, Lucrezia Stefanini, now 143rd, as well as Lisa Pigato, who signs another personal primacy and stands at 149th.
Only an armchair exchange to be reported in the world top ten. Aryna Sabalenka, for the 79th consecutive week (the 87th overall: it had already been from 11 September to 5 November 2023): the 27-year-old of Minsk, queen of the “Sunshine Double”, maintains 2.395 points of advantage on the kazaka Elena Rybakina, queen of the Australian Open and champion in Stuttgart, second, confirming the “best ranking”. On the third step of the podium, the American Coco Gauff is stable. The 22-year-old Delray Beach precedes the Polish Iga Swiatek, fourth in front of two other Americans: Jessica Pegula, fifth, and Amanda Anisimova, sixth, both stable compared to the previous ranking. In the seventh place is the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina that precedes Mirra Andreeva: the 18-year-old Russian, thanks to the semi-final of Stuttgart (stoppata da Rybakina) gains another position overtaking – even if for only 24 points – Jasmine Paolini, who descends to ninth place. The Canadian Victoria Mboko, which closes the world elite, is in tenth place.
