Rafael Nadal will (must) watch from his island of Mallorca how the fight for number one in the world rankings continues.
The 36-year-old earned 180 points for the ATP rankings by defeating Frances Tiafoe in the round of 16 – so he has 5,810 points in his account on Monday.
That may be enough to take the initiative.

Status: Neither Carlos Alcaraz nor Casper Rudd should reach the final at Flushing Meadows.
- The ATP default rankings on September 6, 2022
LIVE PLACEMENT GLOBAL RANKING | player | Live points before quarters | Maximum points after unlocking the United States |
1 | Rafael Nadal | 5810 | 5810 |
2 | Carlos Elkraz | 5100 | 6740 |
3 | Daniel Medvedev | 5065 | 5065 |
4 | Alexander Zverev | 5040 | 5040 |
5 | Casper Rod | 5010 | 6650 |
Spacey: Alcaraz and Rudd can meet in the final – the winner will then not only win his first Grand Slam title, but also take first place in the world rankings.
Rudd will be the first Norwegian in tennis history to do so.
Alcaraz soon to be the youngest number one in history?
At 19 years old, Alcaraz will be the youngest number one man ever. This honor currently goes to Lleyton Hewitt. The Australian reached number one on November 19, 2001 at the age of 20 years, eight months and 23 days.
But Rudd and Alcaraz don’t even need to start counting if they don’t make it to the final.

Before the start of the tournament, Stefanos Tsitsipas was another candidate in the “drag”.
However, the Greek failed in the first round, thus robbing himself of all opportunities.

On the other hand, Alexander Zverev decided not to participate due to his injury at the French Open and work is underway on his return.
That means the 24-year-old, who qualified for the semi-finals in New York last season, loses 720 points.
