Zverev can become the first German No1 in the world ranking since 1991

by

Can o Alexander Zverev to be recovering from the shocking injury he suffered at Roland Garros against Rafael Nadalbut there is an existing scenario that will bring him to the top of the ATP rankings.

Specifically, Daniil Medvedev is No. 1 with 7,775 points, while Zverev has 6,850, but if everything goes as he expects, the German will find himself on the August 15th at No1 in the world. The Russian will have to miss the finals of the Los Campos tournament in Mexico starting on July 29, or the quarterfinals in Montreal, or the semifinals of the Mexican tournament and the third round in Montreal.

The world No. 2 German tennis player is not expected to compete in Canada despite being listed as normal, so he will only lose 90 points from last season’s quarter-finals.

More specifically, Daniil Medvedev will lose 150 points from the Citi Open this week after not competing and if he fails to defend 1000 points from winning the tournament in Montreal in 2021, he will fall from the top of the world rankings .

However, despite so many cases, the reclassifications also intensify the interest in the preparation tournaments before the big US Open date, with each change affecting the way the top tennis players will enter the draws.
