pThe 22-year-old Italian can add an additional 400 points if he lifts the Halle trophy at the end of the week, which would give him a 1,530-point margin over his competitors. /p

pAlcaraz was defending 500 points this week as last yearrsquo;s Queenrsquo;s Club champion. Losing in the second round meant a net loss of 450 points, allowing Djokovic to pass him for World No. 2 in the PIF ATP Live Rankings./p

pAn added bonus for Sinner is that he will also defend fewer points than Alcaraz and Djokovic at a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/wimbledon/540/overview'Wimbledon/a. The World No. 1 will only defend 720 points compared to 2,000 for Alcaraz and 1,200 for Djokovic./p
