Carlos Alcaraz’s second-round loss to Jack Draper Thursday at the cinch Championships could have a big impact on the battle for No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings.

Jannik Sinner, who last week became the first Italian in history to reach World No. 1, has an opportunity at the Terra Wortmann Open to consolidate his standing for the weeks to come.

Sinner has 9,490 live points, putting him 1,130 points ahead of live World No. 2 Novak Djokovic and 1,360 points ahead of live World No. 3 Alcaraz.

PIF ATP Live Rankings (as of 20 June)

The 22-year-old Italian can add an additional 400 points if he lifts the Halle trophy at the end of the week, which would give him a 1,530-point margin over his competitors.

Alcaraz was defending 500 points this week as last year’s Queen’s Club champion. Losing in the second round meant a net loss of 450 points, allowing Djokovic to pass him for World No. 2 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings.

An added bonus for Sinner is that he will also defend fewer points than Alcaraz and Djokovic at Wimbledon. The World No. 1 will only defend 720 points compared to 2,000 for Alcaraz and 1,200 for Djokovic.
