After the 2025 US Open, the gap between the top two players will be quite large in the ATP Race rankings (only counting points from this year), with Alcaraz leading Sinner by 2,590 points (10,540 compared to 7,950).
This figure shows that the Spanish player has a huge advantage. However, the door of hope is not yet completely closed for Sinner.
With a packed schedule of competitions from now until the end of the year, Sinner still has opportunities to accumulate more points.
Specifically, he will participate in several important tournaments with a total of 4,500 points that can be earned by participating in the Beijing tournament (500 points), Shanghai (1,000 points), Vienna (500 points), Paris-Bercy (1,000 points) and the ATP Finals (1,500 points).
Meanwhile, Alcaraz will be eligible to participate in the Tokyo Tournament (500 points), Shanghai Tournament (1,000 points), Paris-Bercy Tournament (1,000 points), and the ATP Finals (1,500 points).
In theory, Sinner still has a chance to reclaim the world number one ranking by the end of 2025, as he has participated in one more tournament than Alcaraz and earned an additional 500 points.
But to finish the year at number one, Sinner would almost certainly have to win almost all of the remaining tournaments. At the same time, he would hope Alcaraz stumbles early in the tournaments the Spaniard participates in.
According to experts, it is highly likely that Alcaraz will maintain his world number one ranking until at least the 2026 Australian Open, as he has a significant points advantage and less pressure to defend his title.
However, in the world of tennis, anything can happen. The race for the 2025 championship promises to be incredibly exciting and dramatic.
