Sinner wins ATP Miami and brings Alcaraz closer, as the ranking changes

In fact, thanks to the final centered in Miami, Sinner had already come close to the first place occupied by the Spaniard. In fact, Alcaraz arrived in Miami after being eliminated in the second round last year and the knockout in the third round against Korda earned him ‘only’ 40 points, thus making him rise to 13,590 in the ranking.

The opportunity thrown away by the Spaniard, who could have increased his tally in view of the clay season, where he will defend as many as 4000, became a tempting chance for Sinner, who arrived in Florida, just as happened in Indian Wells, without points to defend having not been able to participate last year due to the suspension for the Clostebol case.

Access to the final in Miami earned Sinner 650 points, which brought the blue to 12,050 points, i.e. -1540 from Alcaraz. And the gap, thanks to the final victory, has shortened even further. Sinner has in fact reached 12,400 points, therefore ‘only’ 1190 points away from Alcaraz’s first place in the rankings.
