Following the removal of Medvedev: a three-way battle for the first place in the world Israel today

Will the United States Championship lead to a shift change

Following the dismissal of the reigning champion, Danil Medvedev from the last Grand Slam of the year which will cause him to lose many ranking points, no less than three tennis players will fight for the first place in the world.

The first is of course Rafael Nadal.

The bull from Majorca, who last year missed the championship due to injury, returned to 2022 with a bang and took the first two Grand Slams of the season.

Now at the age of 36, the third ranked in the world can complete a dream year and close it on top.

In order for the Spaniard to return to first place, he will have to win the championship, or even reach the final.

Another option for him is to reach the quarter-finals stage only, as long as Carlos Alquers and Casper Rude do not manage to do it themselves.

In front of him stands his heir.

The 19-year-old Alquers can become the youngest since 1973 to qualify for the top, if he wins the tournament (in 2021 he reached the quarterfinals), or reaches the final (but does not lose it to Casper Rod) and at the same time Nadal is eliminated in the eighth.

Last but not least is the Norwegian Rod.

In order for the Roland Garros finalist to take the extraordinary step on the way to the top of the ranking, he will have to win the tournament (but not at the expense of Nadal), or lose it (to any opponent except Alcarres) and also in this scenario he will hope for Nadal's elimination in the round of 16.
