Jannik Sinner has a chance to reclaim World No. 1 from Carlos Alcaraz this week on the Rolex Paris Masters.
Alcaraz took the spot from his rival after successful the US Open and has held it since. The Italian can return the favour on the last ATP Masters 1000 occasion of the season… no less than for now.
Sinner should win the title to have an opportunity of returning to World No. 1 subsequent Monday. If the 24-year-old lifts the trophy and Alcaraz doesn’t attain the semi-finals, No. 1 will change arms.

If Sinner doesn’t declare his first Masters 1000 title of the season, he doesn’t have an opportunity of returning to No. 1. Alcaraz can assure he’ll retain No. 1 by advancing to the semi-finals.
It doesn’t matter what occurs this week, Alcaraz stays in agency management of the battle for ATP Yr-Finish No. 1 introduced by PIF honours. The Spaniard at present leads the PIF ATP Stay Race To Turin, a barometer for the year-end No. 1 battle, by 2,040 factors.
Sinner, whose opening opponent in France might be Zizou Bergs, should transfer to inside 1,750 factors by the top of the Rolex Paris Masters to have any likelihood of claiming a second year-end No. 1 end. There are ATP 250 occasions in Athens and Metz, which Alcaraz and Sinner haven’t entered, after which the Nitto ATP Finals, the place an undefeated champion would earn 1,500 factors.
Alcaraz begins his match on Tuesday when he takes on Cameron Norrie within the second spherical.
