Happy moment: Sinner sweeps past Medvedev to reach the final and stalks Alcaraz’s No. 2 ranking

Jannik Sinner’s victory over Daniil Medvedev has put him in a position to potentially surpass Carlos Alcaraz’s No. 2 ranking ¹. Sinner’s recent win at the Australian Open has put him at World No. 3, and he is now close to taking the No. 2 spot from Alcaraz ¹.

Sinner has won 22 of his last 23 matches, demonstrating his impressive form ¹. If he continues this streak, he may soon surpass Alcaraz’s ranking. However, it’s important to note that Alcaraz is still ahead in the rankings, and Sinner will need to continue performing well to catch up.

Medvedev, on the other hand, is facing a challenging period, as he will drop 2,850 points by the end of Miami ¹. This will make it difficult for him to keep pace with Sinner and Alcaraz in the rankings.

The Pepperstone ATP Rankings points to defend through Miami are as follows ¹:
– Sinner: 1,260 points
– Alcaraz: 1,910 points
– Medvedev: 2,850 points

Sinner’s success has made him the standalone highest-ranked Italian player in the history of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings, surpassing Adriano Panatta’s record ¹. If Sinner wins the ABN AMRO Open in Rotterdam, he will move to World No. 3, with 8,270 points, five more than Medvedev’s 8,265 ¹.
