Okay so I sat down and ran some permutations of what the rankings would look like if the Top 4 are all in good form, I’ll share a general prediction based on them. It assumes Djokovic will play minimally because of it being an Olympic year, and that Alcaraz regains his first half of the season form and Sinner carries over his own.
- Alcaraz

I think that number 1 next year will be determined by scheduling. While Djokovic might be the best player of the season, it’s likely that he is going to play few (9 or 10) point earning tournaments, given that he is older and also has Olympics to prepare for. Therefore my number one has to be Alcaraz, Sinner or Medvedev.
Alcaraz Dinner Rublev Medvedev Hurkacz Medjedovic Fritz Djokovic Jarry Tsitsipas
Djokovic will win 1 more major this year, his final one.
