(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 09 – Carlos Alcaraz, 19, winner of the Masters 1000 in Madrid yesterday, has gained three positions and is now sixth in the ATP world ranking. After dominating Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals on Friday, then Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, Alcaraz pulverized Alexander Zverev in the final.
It’s his fourth trophy of the year, following Rio’s ATP 500 in February, Miami’s Masters 1000 – the first of his career – and Barcelona’s ATP 500 last week. Due to an ankle problem, he will miss the tournament in Rome to better prepare himself for Roland-Garros.
No change this week in the Top 5, still dominated by Djokovic, but behind Alcaraz, Andrey Rublev earns a place by becoming seventh, like the Canadian Felix Augier-Aliassime (now ninth), while Matteo Berrettini loses two (eighth) and Casper Ruud three (tenth). Jannik Sinner, thirteenth, also drops one position. (HANDLE).
