Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are positioned to potentially overtake Alexander Zverev as the ATP world number one, according to analysis published Thursday. The three players have been at the forefront of men's tennis, with the ranking lead shifting between them throughout the season.

Zverev currently holds the top spot, but both Alcaraz and Sinner remain within striking distance as the tour approaches its final tournaments. The race for year-end number one will likely be decided by performance in the remaining ATP events, including the season-ending ATP Finals.
