Alcaraz and Sinner play for the number 1 spot this weekend in Monte Carlo

The battle for the number one spot in the ATP ranking between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner is hotter than ever. In fact, everything will be decided at the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 in 2026. Both are in the tournament's semifinals, and now everything will depend on what happens on Saturday and Sunday. If Sinner wins the tournament, he will be the world number one no matter what, while if Alcaraz wins, he would retain the top spot. However, if the Italian tennis player reaches the final and the Spaniard does not, Alcaraz would also lose the crown of the ATP ranking. In other words, from now on, Alcaraz is obliged to achieve a better outcome than the player from San Candido.
