“Just Now Carlos Alcaraz Took The Lead In Another ATP Ranking In Miami Open!” Am Happy Now Because I Failed But Finally I Am The…

ATP Rankings: How many points are Zverev, Alcaraz, Draper, Djokovic defending at Miami Open?

The Miami Open marks the second leg of the Sunshine Double on American soil and several big-name players will be dropping a lot of points at the ATP Masters 1000 event, resulting in some movement in the ATP Rankings.

First things first, reigning world No 1 Jannik Sinner is the defending champion and he won’t be in action as is currently serving a three-month ban following his positive drug tests in March last year.

The Italian has 11,330 points in the rankings, but will drop to 10,330 points after all is said and done in Florida. He is not in danger of losing his No 1 spot as he has a massive lead, but it will give Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz a chance to edge closer to him after the tournament.

Miami Ranking Points Breakdown

Winner: 1000 points
Finalist: 650 points
Semi-finalists: 400 points
Quarter-finalists: 200 points
Round of 16: 100 points
Round of 32: 50 points
Second Round: 30 points
First Round: 10 points

Players who feature in the main draw of the Masters events earn 10 points so if you lose in the first round you will still get 10 points while a victory will see you go home with at least 30 points for making the second round.

The top 32 players have byes into the second round, but they also earn the 10 points from the first round.

Sinner defeated Grigor Dimitrov in the 2024 final so the Bulgarian will drop 650 points (although he is already +10 as he is among those who have a bye in the first round).

Dimitrov currently sits at No 15 in the official ATP Rankings, but he has slipped seven places in the Live Rankings after the deduction of those points.

Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev were the two losing semi-finalists so they will be -400 points at the start of the event while Carlos Alcaraz, Fabian Marozsan, Nicolas Jarry and Tomas Machac lost in the last eight so will drop 200 points.

Taylor Fritz, Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Holger Rune were among those to lose in the second round in 2024 so they effectively start with zero points (-10 from last year and +10 in 2025).

Six-time Miami Open champion Novak Djokovic hasn’t played at the event since 2019 so he has no points to defend and will start his campaign with 10 points in the bank.

With Casper Ruud dropping 100 points, tennis’ newest ATP Masters 1000 title winner, Jack Draper, has moved up to No 6 ahead of the Norwegian in the Live Rankings. Draper is defending only 30 points after losing in the second round last year
