Jannik Sinner's Quest for World No. 2 at the Miami Open

Jannik Sinner tries again. With Alcaraz's elimination at the ATP Miami, the 22-year-old from San Candido has a new chance to become the world number 2, overtaking the Spaniard and closing in on Novak Djokovic. To do so, he will "simply" have to win in Florida, defeating Medvedev in the semifinal and then the winner between Dimitrov and Zverev in the final. Sinner-Medvedev, time and where to watch the Miami semifinal. If Jannik wins the tournament he becomes number 2 in the world. The Possible Overtake: The challenge from a distance between Sinner and Alcaraz continues. After the Spaniard's elimination from the Miami Open, the South Tyrolean could indeed achieve that overtaking which he had not completed at Indian Wells. By winning in the semifinal against Medvedev and then in the final against either Dimitrov or Zverev, the 22-year-old would surpass the Spaniard in the rankings, becoming number two in the world and getting ever closer to Novak Djokovic. What Happens in Case of Defeat: Should Sinner not win, however, nothing would change for the ranking. The South Tyrolean is indeed sure to maintain the third position, as Medvedev - the reigning champion and world number 4 - could not in any case surpass him. The Rankings: Currently standing at 8,645 points, Alcaraz could therefore be overtaken by Sinner, now at 8,110 points. With the 1,000 points awarded to the winner, the 22-year-old would reach 8,710 points, finalizing the much-anticipated overtaking. The final, on the other hand, only awards 650 points. Too few for Sinner to bridge the gap with the Spaniard. 1. Novak Djokovic, 9,725 points 2. Carlos Alcaraz, 8,645 points 3. Jannik Sinner, 8,110 points 4. Daniil Medvedev, 7,165 points 5. Alexander Zverev, 5,415 points
