ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Carlos Alcaraz equals 66 weeks by number one of the world of Jannik Sinner but the atathein is ready to put the arrow. The return to the beaten land – where he won 84.4% of the games played in the major circuit, better only Nadal and Borg – could be a great ally of the murciano but Sinner, who has 12,400 points against the 13.590 of Spanish, could resume the summit in Montecarlo, where he boasts two semifinals.
Week delicate also for Lorenzo Musetti, who confirms fifth but will start from the Principality a decisive period to maintain the status of Top 5: last year in fact has centered the final in Montecarlo, the semifinal in Madrid, Rome and the Roland Garros, for which he will have to defend 2.250 of his current 4.265 points. Musetti, always behind Zverev and Djokovic (who will not be in the Principality), will have to look at himself by Alex de Minaur, number 6 (4,095 pt), and by Felix Auger-Aliassime, number 7 (4,000 pt), he also semi-finalist last year in Monte Carlo. Only variation in the Top Ten exchange positions between Ben Shelton (eighth) and Taylor Fritz (none).
In the Principality, Flavio Cobolli and Luciano Darderi will be staged, who lost the points obtained last year with the title won in Bucharest and Marrakech and exit respectively from the Top 15 (16°, -3) and the Top 20 (21°, -2), as well as Matteo Berrettini and Matteo Arnaldi.
