Jannik Sinner sta preparando un grave disastro per Novak Djokovic, affermando che se continuerà a…..

Novak Djokovic è riuscito a impedire a Jannik Sinner di diventare il numero uno mondiale dopo Roland Garros, ma la sua impresa è stata sconvolta questa settimana quando il serbo ha ottenuto a wild card in the ATP 250 at the Gonet Geneva Open.

Sinner would need to win the Roland Garros in order to guarantee his rise to No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings on June 10, the day after the year’s second major ends, in order for Djokovic to advance to the final in Switzerland. Sinner è stato un po’ più facile per raggiungere il numero uno quando sembrava che Djokovic non sarebbe riuscito a rompere con la sua consueta routine giocando una partita la settimana prima di un Slam: He had to finish in Paris.

Should Djokovic riuscire a raggiungere la finale di Geneva, questo metterebbe le basi per una possibile winner-takes-all finale di Roland Garros tra Djokovic e Sinner. Il vincitore di questa finale guadagnerebbe il titolo mondiale numero uno.

Additional top scenarios will also be affected by Djokovic’s progress in Geneva, where he won his opening round against Yannick Hanfmann on Wednesday to secure his 1,100th career win.

After their match was suspended on Wednesday night due to rain, Djokovic beat the German set 6-3, 6-3 in the Thursday quarter-final Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting against Tallon Griekspoor or Denis Shapovalov. If the Serbian wins on Thursday and reaches the semi-finals, he can give himself a chance to retain World No. 1 after Paris by reaching the Roland Garros semi-finals (if Sinner loses early in Paris).

Both players would share 10,025 PIF ATP Rankings points if Djokovic loses in the Geneva final but beats Sinner in the Roland Garros final. However, Djokovic would win the tie-break having amassed more points during the last 52 weeks at the Grand Slams, ATP Masters 1000 mandatory tournaments, and Nitto ATP Finals.

Djokovic would have more points than Sinner at the end of the clay-court major if he wins his first title of 2024 in Geneva and beats him in the Paris final.

By the end of Roland Garros, Djokovic will have maintained the World No. 1 position for a record 428 weeks. Sinner cerca di essere il primo giocatore italiano nella storia delle PIF ATP Rankings a raggiungere il numero uno mondiale. È anche il 29esimo giocatore overall.

Sinner, who lost in the second round last year, will start Roland Garros at number one in the PIF ATP Live Rankings while Djokovic is defending 2,000 points at the tournament after winning the title in 2023. To be crowned an official World No. 1 player, a player must rise to the top of the 52-week PIF ATP Rankings.
