Carlos Alcaraz knocks Jannik Sinner off world No 1 spot – and the Italian hits back

Carlos Alcaraz recently knocked Jannik Sinner off the world No. 1 spot in the UTR rankings, but Sinner swiftly reclaimed his position after an impressive win over Novak Djokovic at the Shanghai Masters.

Despite Sinner securing the year-end ATP No. 1 ranking, the rivalry between these two stars remains intense, with both players performing at an exceptionally high level throughout 2024. Alcaraz claimed the French Open and Wimbledon titles, while Sinner triumphed at the Australian Open and US Open.

Tennis legend Mats Wilander praised their competitive dynamic, comparing their level to that of the “Big Three” and emphasizing the unpredictable and thrilling nature of their matches. As both players continue to excel, the No. 1 ranking is expected to fluctuate between them in both ATP and UTR rankings.
