Nadal, Alcaraz or Ruud: someone will be the next number 1 in the ranking

Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud: one of these three players will become number one in the world tennis rankings next Monday, a position vacated this morning by Russian Daniil Medvedev when he fell in the round of 16 of the US Open against Australian Nick Kyrgios .

For Alcaraz, the current number four in the ranking, it is mandatory to win the tournament if, as a brilliant tip, he wants to rise to the top of the list. The Spanish player would be the youngest player in history to do so, turning 19 years and 129 days old on the day of the final.

Alcaraz will play his round of 16 on Monday against the Croatian Marin Cilic, 17th in the world, which he won in the last two of their three confrontations, most recently in Cincinnati (7-6, 6-1).
