On the ATP rankings at the moment, Novak Djokovic has 9,725 points, while Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have 8,710 and 8,645 points respectively. The gap is more than 1,000 points but Djokovic has to defend 2,315 points in this year's clay court season.
If he wants to maintain his leading position, Djokovic, in addition to defending his French Open title, will also have to go deep in other tournaments, a task that is not easy, with clear signs of decline in performance in the early stages of 2024.
In case Novak Djokovic loses the world No. 1 position, it will most likely fall into the hands of Jannik Sinner, because the Italian player only needs to defend 585 points. Sinner is in good form in the first months of 2024, so it is entirely possible that he can conquer major tournaments in the Masters 1000 system and the French Open.
As for Carlos Alcaraz, he is only 65 points behind Sinner but will also have to defend 2,265 points in the coming time.
