Alcaraz’s unexpected defeat in the first round against Norrie gives the South Tyrolean tennis player a great chance to regain the world tennis scepter. Meanwhile in the first round he easily overcomes Bergs and tomorrow he challenges the Argentine Cerundolo
The gift to Jannik Sinner arrived the day before taking the field in Paris with theunexpected defeat of Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard is already out of the ATP 1000 at the hands of Norrie, who came from behind after winning the first set. Alcaraz is unrecognizable and at this point it depends only on Jannik. Destiny is in his hands, if he wins the Paris tournament on Monday he will be number one in the world again. Alcaraz stops at 11250 points, Sinner would win 11,500 points by winning in Paris. The final that gives 650 points wouldn’t be enough for Jannik, because he would rise to 11,150. Then on Monday 10 November, the points from last year’s Finals will be released (1,500 for the Italian, 200 for the Iberian) and Alcaraz will return to No. 1 in the ranking, but it will all be played out in Turin.
Everything easy with Bergs
In the debut of the Paris tournament Sinner beat the Belgian Zizou Bergs in two sets. The match unfolded identically at the beginning of the two sets. Sinner broke serve in the first game of the respective sets and then managed the match without problems. Not an exciting match for the Italian, who in any case did not have the difficulties of Alcaraz on the new surface on which he plays in Paris. AND no physical problems for Jannik who had suffered some muscle cramps in the Vienna final with Zverev. The first set was more balanced and closed 6-4 by Sinner. In the second, after the initial break, Sinner broke the Belgian’s serve again, going 4-1 and then closing 6-2. The difference between the two seemed evident as the match progressed even if Sinner didn’t push too much. Jannik’s next opponent in the round of 16 of the Paris tournament will be the Argentine Cerundolo who beat Kecmanovic.
