The victory in Miami against Dimitrov, beaten in just over an hour of play in the final, took Sinner to second place in the ATP rankings. The Italian champion seems unstoppable, so there is curiosity to find out when he could reach the top of world tennis, even surpassing Djokovic. After overtaking Alcaraz, the race for the Serbian has officially started. And the time for a new and definitive overtaking could be rather short.
The clay season begins. Djokovic currently has a lead of just over 1000 points over the South Tyrolean. But the best is yet to come. Sinner on clay will in fact defend only 585 points, against Djokovic's 2,315, Alcaraz's 2,265 and Medvedev's 1,280. It is not unrealistic to think, given the performance of recent months, that Sinner's haul on clay will increase, with his opponents having more difficulty maintaining the same pace.
Sinner defends many points in Monte Carlo, but then almost nothing between Madrid and Rome. As well as Djokovic. He is therefore about to start a long-distance duel, with Alcaraz third wheel. But at Roland Garros Djokovic defends the title and 2000 points, and Sinner practically nothing having lost early in 2023.
The top of world tennis could be reached by Sinner after Paris, in June. Otherwise the season would open on grass, a surface that Sinner has always liked and where even there he has many fewer points to defend especially compared to Alcaraz, who in 2023 won 2500 points against Jannik's 855 and Djokovic's 1200, not also forgetting the rumors that speak of a possible withdrawal of Nole from Wimbledon to better concentrate on the Olympics.
How much he earns
The Miami Master 1000 has a total prize money that goes beyond 8 million euros: 8 million and 262 thousand euros, to be precise. With the passage to the final Sinner had already put 250 thousand dollars into the farm, and thanks to the prize money from the previous rounds he had already accumulated something like 540 thousand euros. And after the victory? The prize money for the champion is equal to 1,015,458 euros. Which are added to the 1000 ATP points. So far in his career Sinner has won over 21 million prizes, already becoming, despite his young age, the 26th ever in the history of tennis.
