ATP Points: Alcaraz Could Reach the 3rd Highest Score Ever Seen on the Men's Tour
Since Monte-Carlo included (last April), Carlos Alcaraz has reached the final of every tournament he has participated in. The recent US Open winner, the Spaniard has also taken the world number one spot from his rival Sinner.
Indeed, with 11,540 points (compared to 10,780 for the Italian), the native of El Palmar has achieved his personal record.
But that's not all, as with 4,000 points at stake by the end of the year (500 in Tokyo, 1,000 in Shanghai, 1,000 in Paris, and 1,500 at the ATP Finals), he could achieve one of the highest totals since the implementation of the current calendar and scoring system (2009).
With only 900 points to defend, the player could reach 14,640 points, which would be the third highest score ever seen on the men's tour, placing him behind the legends Djokovic (16,950 points) and Nadal (15,390 points).
