ATP RANKING. After the elimination of Daniil Medvedev at the US Open, three men are aiming for the world number one spot.
It’s official, in a week, the Russian Daniil Medvedev will lose his place as world number 1 after his elimination in the round of 16 of the US Open by the Australian Nick Kyrgios. “I forgot about it! It’s not the first thing that comes to mind after a Grand Slam defeat. But that’s not cool. I’m trying to save face, but I’m disappointed. I’m not going to cry, but it’s disappointing. I’m going to be a little sad for a few days, my head in my phone, on my computer or watching series. I’ll be what, 3rd, 4th? Carlos (Alcaraz) will overtake me? I don’t know, honestly. But it motivates me to do better. It was the last Grand Slam of the year, I wasn’t good enough. I should have done better. I could have won in Australia, I didn’t. I couldn’t play at Wimbledon. At Roland-Garros, round of 16. Here, the same. I should have done better” explained the Russian.
Three men can now claim the place of world number 1, Casper Ruud, Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal. Here are the different scenarios:

Carlos Alcaraz will be number 1 if:
- He wins the tournament.
- He reached the final and only Rafael Nadal was beaten in the round of 16 and Casper Ruud went out in the semi-final stage.
Casper Ruud will be #1 if:
- He won the tournament without facing Rafael Nadal in the final.
- He goes to the final and only Rafael Nadal is eliminated in the round of 16 and Carlos Alcaraz is taken out in the semi-finals.

What is the classification of the ATP Race?

What are the differences between the ATP ranking and the Race ranking?
Unlike the “classic” ATP ranking, which is updated every week taking into account the points earned over the previous 52 weeks, the ATP Race ranking only takes into account the points earned during the current season and gradually accumulates the ten -eight best results.
The ATP ranking consists of awarding points based on the performance of each player during major competitions. In total, 18 competitions are taken into account and the points accumulated are valid for 52 weeks. Thus, for example, the winner of a grand slam garners 2000 points, the runner-up 1200 points, the semi-finalist 720 points and so on. For each major tournament the points are not the same, because at the masters 1000 the victory awards 1000 points, the final 600 points, and the semi-final 360.
The leaderboard is updated weekly and the points are valid for one year, but instead of being added up, they are compared. In other words, the performance of the player on a competition of the current year is compared to that of the same competition the past year. The points obtained are added to his total to obtain a new total for the week, for a new ranking that comes out every Monday.
