Even after dropping all of those ranking points, Alcaraz is guaranteed to keep his No. 2 ranking through the end of the clay-court season, no matter how anyone else does.
Alexander Zverev, the current No. 3, can get the closest.
Currently at 5,255 ranking points, if the German captures back-to-back Masters 1000 titles in Madrid and Rome, the ATP 500 event in Hamburg the week after (where he’s entered) as well as his first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros, he would finish the clay-court season with 8,955 points.
That number takes into account all of the points that he’s defending during that stretch, too, including from quarterfinal showings at Rome and Roland Garros last year.
