Beating Alcaraz would knock him out and prevent him from gaining any more points
If Med wins the ATP Finals after going 3-0 in the RR he’ll then go to 8700 points which would give him year end #2

There was a time when Alcaraz looked certain to end year as no.1 but now he might not even end up as no.2
When exactly did he look certain to finish the season as No 1? After Wimbledon he was only about 700 points ahead of Novak in the race. Of course we thought he would play more tournaments than the Serb so for sure he seemed to have a good chance at that point. But knowing Tennis (how quick things can change) and knowing Djokovic, how could you really think in July that a 700 point advantage was too much to be overcome? And after the US Open Djokovic was in the lead of the race and even though again at that point we thought Alcaraz might play more tournaments it was never sure if he’d really be healthy all the time and in good shape on indoors. And Medvedev could be expected to gain many points in the last part of the season. I’m not one bit surprised
