But the Spaniard is also best placed to be at the top at the end of the fortnight. If he gets past Frances Tiafoe on Monday but loses in the quarterfinals, he will gain another 180 points, which will be enough as long as Ruud or Alcaraz don’t win the title. 1 spot could be his even before the final.
