(Paris) There is no change in the top 20 of the ATP ranking published on Monday and still dominated by the Italian Janik Sinner ahead of the Serbian Novak Djokovic and the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz before the start of the United States Open
Eliminated in the last 16 at Flushing Meadows last year, Sinner has big points to gain on the competition in New York, but he approaches the last Grand Slam tournament of the year in the midst of controversy following the revelation of a double positive anti-doping test for an anabolic carried out in March.
Cleared after convincing the authorities that he was the victim of involuntary contamination, the Italian will try to win his second Major after the Australian Open while Alcaraz, his great rival within the new generation, remains on two triumphs at Roland-Garros and Wimbledon.
Djokovic, the defending champion, is obliged to go far to avoid being dropped in the world hierarchy.
Winner of the 250 tournament in Winston-Salem on Saturday, the fourth title of his career, the Italian Lorenzo Sonego, 29, gained ten places and is now at 48e world ranking.
