The Rankings Thread (ATP)

[Kieran]

As I said in the WTF thread, with Rafa's second RR loss today, Carlos Alcaraz is officially the year-end #1. Congrats to the kid! Not only youngest #1 in the ATP era, but youngest year-end #1...only 19 year old to do it.

I’m useless at maths: If Fritz beats Ruud, then if Rafa beats Ruud, and Fritz beats FAA, then we have 3 players on 1 win.

Is there a scenario where Rafa progresses, if this happens? He’ll have 200 points, so can still catch Charley?

I was trying to find a path for him and and I thought there may be one, but it I'm not sure it is possible: He has to beat Ruud no matter what, but even if three players go 1-2, FAA and Fritz have already beat him, so I think get the tiebreaker over him. Meaning, all he can do is finish ahead of Ruud at this point, which is 3 out of 4 - so he's not in the SF.

I think that's how it works?

I suppose of the other three guys could get injured and drop out, so that would be Rafa's only chance.

The desperation's real w/ you guys! I just better not hear some BS about Nadal being hurt down the line! This guy's so FOS! Fans R bent too!

Your maths sounds right - and I wouldn’t wish injury on any of them. Rafa has been brave enough to play with his injury, that’s plenty for me!

Novak Djokovic will stay ranked at No 5 regardless of his win today.

Top Ten,
1. Alcaraz
2. Nadal
3. Ruud
4. Tsitsipas
5. Djokovic
6. FAA
7. Medvedev
9. Fritz
10 Hurkacz

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I imagine Djokovic will try to play something before AO to grab the number 4 seed.

Fun fact: birth years of the top 10 range from 1986 to 2003, with no players born in the years 1988 to '95. Two in 1986-87, five in 1996-98, and three in 2000-03.

Also noteworthy is that Novak returns to #1 with 373 weeks in the bank. That means that if he can hold on, he'll reach 400 weeks in July. 2023 could be a year of numerical milestones for him: he'll probably end it with the sole claim to the Slam record, 40+ Masters, 400+ weeks at #1, and maybe even 100 titles (he's at 93 now)...now I'm guessing he ends just shy of that, and gets to 100 next year.

El Dude may be correct about the above. Novak will win more Masters shields and I believe at least one more major this year barring injury. Winning 7 titles to break 100 is a tall ask, but he is capable.

These ranking makes more sense! Having Novak 5th just didn't look right! Nadal falling precipitously is more like it after such a dismal "Fall!" -

What happens if Nads doesn't play IW? He has finalist points there, no?

They already calc'd out that Nadal'll drop out of the top 10 official pretty soon! No skin off my nose even though many would think I'm thrilled!

@MargaretMcAleer

He will most likley leave the Top 10....it also depends how the other's fares as well
Though Fritz 1000 IW points comes off soon as he is the defending champion, though he will be Top 5 with his win at Delary Beach on the 27th Februay
