Why Jannik Sinner will snatch the world no.3 from Medvedev if he beats Griekspoor in Rotterdam

Why Jannik Sinner is so close to become the new world no.3

Jannik Sinner New World No3

Jannik Sinner is extremely close to reaching yet another important milestone in his fantastic career. The Italian sensation is one win from becoming the new world no.3 (personal high). Jannik will be ranked no.3 next Monday if he wins the current ATP 500 tournament in Rotterdam.

However, since Daniil Medvedev announced that he would not be able to defend his title in Doha next week (he will lose 250 points), the Italian sensation will be anyway world no.3 in two weeks’ time if he reaches the final in the Netherlands. In this scenario, Jannik would have 8,100 points vs. Medvedev’s 8,015.
