The German will have to win everything in his path (Acapulco, Indian Wells, Miami) to earn 2,500 points and give himself the opportunity to become world No. 1 at the end of the Monaco tournament.
Sinner will become the 13th player with the most weeks (44) as world No.1, overtaking such former legends as Ilie Nastase (40 weeks), Andy Murray (41 weeks) and Gustavo Kuerten (43 weeks).
