Breaking news: According to claims, Jannik Sinner has turned to professional, Alcaraz, Carlos has………

Carlos Alcaraz has acknowledged that he is now looking over his shoulder in the ATP rankings after Jannik Sinner had won all 12 of his matches thus far in 2024.

Sinner rose to a new career high of No. 3 after winning his maiden Grand Slam tournament at the Australian Open last month. Last week, he repeated the feat in Rotterdam.

Sinner is now just 835 points behind Alcaraz, who presently holds the No. 2 spot, a fact the Spaniard has acknowledged he is fully aware of.”I catch his breath.

I believe he still has 1,000 points [to catch up to me], but that is nothing to Jannik. To try to keep him from catching up to me and taking back the top spot, I have to be as good as I can be.

On Monday, Alcaraz’s lead against Sinner will narrow to 535 points after the latter lost 300 points in his Rio Open first-round encounter this week.

After gaining 1,000 points at Indian Wells last year, Alcaraz will have to defend 360 points at the Miami Open, two events where No. 1 Novak Djokovic can only accrue points if he is unable to compete in 2023.

Since the US Open last year, Sinner has only dropped two games, and Alcaraz has talked about the improvements he has witnessed in the Italian since then.

There is no secret, as I have constantly stated. It is evident that he has put in a lot of work. He works extremely hard and is very focused on his tasks during every competition.

I discuss it with Juan Carlos [Ferrero] several times when we visit him, Alcaraz went on. It is now more professional when compared to the Sinner from earlier.

He was before, but he’s much more of one now since he works every day and has everything in order.

Jannik is one example of how hard work pays off in the long run, and I am delighted for him and his group.

With the Indian Wells tournament starting on Wednesday, March 6, Djokovic, Alcaraz, and Sinner will all be focusing on the sunshine double next.
