Jannik Sinner isn’t even allowed to play competitive tennis, yet he’s still strengthened his grip as the world’s leading men’s player.<\/p>\n

Sinner, of course, is almost halfway through a three-month ban for a doping offence,<\/a> which ruled him out of the ‘Sunshine Double’ in Indian Wells and Miami.<\/p>\n

But he watched on as his nearest rivals – Alexander Zverev <\/b>and Carlos Alcaraz<\/b> – both fumbled the chance to significantly narrow the gap at the top of the ATP rankings.<\/p>\n

It looks increasingly likely Sinner will lead the way when he returns in Rome at the start of May.<\/p>\n

Sinner still holds a lead of 2,685 ranking points over Zverev, while Alcaraz is 3,610 adrift.<\/p>\n

With 1,000 points available to the Monte Carlo and Madrid champions, plus 500 for winning Barcelona or Munich, a slim opportunity for Zverev remains.<\/p>\n

Seizing the chance to overtake Sinner had been on Zverev’s mind. Then he started, by his own admission, “playing terrible”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
