Jannik Sinner 9,525
Novak Djokovic 8.360
Carlos Alcaraz 7,880
Daniil Medvedev 6.485
Alexander Zverev 6.385
Alcaraz has 7,880 points right now, 480 less than the Serbianobligated to abandon before playing the quarterfinals with Casper Ruud due to his torn meniscus in his right knee.
At Wimbledon, only in the final
Djokovic will not be able to play Wimbledon eitherwhere he had been a finalist in the last edition. That means you will subtract 1,200 points. Carlitos and Sinner, no matter what happens in the Roland Garros final, will be the first two seeds in the grass court so they could only meet in a hypothetical final.
