Alcaraz has not scored points in Godó and in Madrid, after retaining the two titles, but he has not lost any, while the Serbian Novak Djokovic lost 105 in Barcelona and 360 in Madrid by not having participated.
The result is that, this week, Djokovic appears with 6,775 points and Alcaraz with 6,770.
Since the Serb won last year’s Roman edition, he can’t score points if he wins, while the Murcian who didn’t play last year can only score.
So, even if Alcaraz lost in his first match at the Foro Italico, he would add 10 points, enough to put Djokovic ahead, whatever the future of the Serbian in the tournament.
