Carlos Alcaraz doesn’t just take home the Wimbledon trophy.

On June 25, Carlos Alcaraz (20) triumphed at the Wimbledon preparatory tournament at London’s Queen’s Club. For the Spaniard, the first title on grass also meant his return to the tennis throne.

Three weeks later, he will face Novak Djokovic (36) not only to win Wimbledon, but also to remain at the top of the world rankings. Alcaraz was victorious in an epic five sentence final. And defended the tennis throne.

Thanks to his second Grand Slam title, the Spaniard has 2000 points to his name and will start his 29th week at the top of the world ranking on Monday. At the same time, he is now clearly distancing himself from Djokovic. The Serbian is 880 points behind.

Some points to defend

The young Spaniard will remain number 1 for the time being. At least until the Masters 1000 tournament in Toronto (August 7 to 13) he cannot be dropped. In the Canadian metropolis, Alcaraz has 10 points to defend compared to last year when the tournament was held in Montreal. At that time, after a bye in the first round, he was knocked out in the second round against Tommy Paul (26) in three sets.

Then you have to defend 180 points or qualify for the quarterfinals at the Masters in Cincinnati (USA). A real chunk awaits at the end of August at the US Open (28 August to 10 September). Because Alcaraz can’t get extra points there – he’s the defending champion. Means to him: he also has 2000 points to defend.

Djokovic is allowed again

And Djokovic? He can start the big race to catch up. For the first time since 2021, he can again participate in the Masters tournaments abroad. In recent years, Djokovic was not allowed – because he was not vaccinated against Corona.

For the same reason, last year’s US Open took place without the Serb. The rules that only vaccinated players are allowed to participate in the tournaments are a thing of the past. And Djokovic can attack number 1 again in late summer. (bir)
