Sinner approaches number one after victory in Miami

The Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz continues for another week at number one in the ATP ranking despite his elimination in the third round at the Miami Masters 1000, a tournament won by the Italian Jannik Sinner who, with his victory, reduces the distance with the Murcian to 1190 points before the start of the clay tour.

Jannik Sinner beat Czech Jiri Lehecka in the final of the Miami tournament this Sunday and lifted the trophy for the second time in his career. A victory that also allows him to cut 960 points from Carlos Alcaraz in the ATP ranking, in which he continues in second position, but in which he has placed himself 1190 points away. An income that will be difficult for the Murcian to manage, since he defends up to 2330 points on the dirt tour, compared to 650 for the transalpine.

In addition, the German Alexander Zverev, semi-finalist in Miami, has surpassed the Serbian Novak Djokovic in third place, who is now fourth. For his part, Alejandro Davidovich from Malaga continues in 17th position, while Jaume Munar drops two to 37th. The good news in Spain is the emergence of Rafa Jódar (89) in the Top 100 for the first time in his career.

For her part, in the WTA ranking, the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka adds another week at world number one after winning in Miami, where she beat the American Coco Gauff in the final, who with this result returns to the Top 3, relegating the Polish Iga Swiatek to fourth place. A classification in which Cristina Bucsa (32), despite dropping two places, is still the best Spanish, followed by Jessica Bouzas (48) and Paula Badosa (113).
