The dates for Tsitsipas rise to number 2 in the world rankings

When the ATP Finals started, both Rafael Nadal and Stefanos Tsitsipas had chances to become world No. 1.

But neither one nor the other can do that. Rafa has been ruled out and it remains to be seen for the final game against Rudd if he takes a point or leaves Torino empty-handed.

Stefanos Tsitsipas, on the other hand, has no chance in first place because he originally wanted to win the trophy undefeated, which cannot happen after his defeat against Djokovic.

However, the Greek tennis player is the only one, along with Casper Rude, who can climb to No. 2 in the world rankings. In fact, everything depends on them.

The data for Tsitsipas and Rud

Let’s take the data from the beginning. Currently, Rafael Nadal has 5820 and cannot continue the tournament. This means that it can be achieved in the best case 6020 points if he beats Rudd in the final group game.

At the same time, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Kasper Ruud can reach a maximum of 6650 and 6520 respectively, which means they can climb to 2nd place.

Of course, it all depends on what they do later in the tournament, while there’s also the possibility that the two might find themselves in a match that decides the world No. 2 in the semifinals.
