Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are creating attractive races in every tournament they attend. And more than that, the world's No. 1 race of two new generation talented players really made the tennis fans surprised.
After being crowned at Wimbledon 2025, Jannik Sinner firmly strengthened the No. 1 position in the world with 12.030 points, widening the gap of up to 3,430 points compared to the second person Carlos “Carlitos” Alcaraz (8,600 points). The championship at the All England Club not only brought the third Grand Slam title in the career of the Italian tennis player, but also marked the 58th week in a row to hold the No. 1 ATP – the dominant series starting from Roland Garros 2024, where he became the first to climb to the top of the world rankings.
In the opposite direction, Alcaraz had a challenging grass season when he had to defend the Wimbledon 2024 championship. Despite his efforts and reached the final, “Carlitos” could only stop in the runner -up position. Earlier, he played impressively at the land season and won the title at Queen's Club, but still could not narrow the great gap in scores with Sinner.
North American hard field season: “bright door” for Alcaraz, challenging Sinner
However, everything can change rapidly during the hard field of North America-lasting from the end of July to the beginning of September with three major prizes: Canadian Open (July 27, August), Cincinnati Masters (August 7 to August 18) and US Open (24/8-7/9).
It is worth noting that Sinner is facing a great pressure on the score. Last year, the Italian player who won the Cincinnati championship (1,000 points), the US Open (2,000 points) and reached the quarter -finals of Canadian Open (200 points) – ie must protect up to 3,200 points in the next few weeks. According to the ATP schedule, if the same achievement does not recreate, Sinner will be deducted from the heavy point, causing the leading gap to be seriously eroded.
Meanwhile, Alcaraz has only 60 points to be protected (10 points in Canada, 50 points in the US Open), an almost negligible number. If the competition is stable and advanced in big tournaments, especially the US Open, the Spanish player can completely shorten the gap, even overtaking the No. 1 in September.
Race to Turin: Alcaraz is leading
Currently, on the ATP Race To Turin rankings – the index reflecting the accumulated performance in the year, Alcaraz led with a distance of 1,500 points compared to Sinner himself. If maintaining the promotion momentum, this 22 -year -old tennis player is facing a great opportunity to finish the year at the No. 1 position in the world.
Even so, experts still judge Sinner to be brave and stable to preserve the top of the top at least until the US Open 2025. With high form, steel spirit and bravery, I have been trained through the Grand Slam, Italian players will definitely not easily give up.
The race of the ATP throne is therefore expected to be tense to the final tournaments of the year, where every shot, every score can decide the fate of the 2025 season.
