Carlos Alcaraz successfully defended his Madrid Open title on Sunday. With that he maintained his points tally which is at 6,770 at the moment. However Novak Djokovic dropped 360 points after missing the Madrid Open due to an elbow niggle. With that he has 6,775 ranking points at the moment which is just five more than Alcaraz.
Djokovic is set to feature in the upcoming Italian Open. The Serbian is the defending champion and hence he will not be earning additional points even if he lifts the title at Rome. However Alcaraz missed the tournament last year. He is all set to begin his campaign this year in the tournament from the second round. Even if he loses the contest, he is set to gain a minimum of 10 points that would help him go past Djokovic in the rankings.
