The Chilean number three will leave the Top 100 this Monday. He must urgently add more for Roland Garros where his presence in the main draw is not guaranteed.
Christian Garin (87th) is complicated in the ATP rankings. The Chilean fell in the first round of the Phoenix Challenger and could not defend the 106 points he obtained in 2023 to reach the round of 16 of the Masters 1000 in Indian Wells.
The unitary discount will cause him to leave the Top 100, just before one of his busiest months on the circuit and after the poor results of the South American tour, the need to add points is urgent for the former 17th world, which at the moment He only had three wins all year . One in the first round of the ATP 250 in Rio de Janeiro and two during the Phoenix Challenger qualifiers.
Although his stay in Arizona allowed him to string together consecutive victories after four months, his defeat in the first round only gave him six points, well below what he had to defend. This Monday, he will lose 16 places in the world rankings and will be ranked 103rd in the world.
This drop occurs in a week where they have to maintain points again, since At the Miami Masters 1000 2023 he reached the third round and added 61 units . The main problem is that due to the current situation he is going through, he will not be part of the main draw in Florida, but will have to go through the qualifications, although this situation is not new for the Chilean, since the Last year he started his journey in qualifying. .
Terrain will also require points
This Monday the national will appear with 590 points in the world ranking, a figure that will also have movements during the clay court tour. Garin defends 180 units (without taking into account Miami) until after Roland Garros, although in his favor he plays that since he did not participate in Paris last year, he will only be able to add to it.
Of course, there is still a long time left for the second Grand Slam of the year and the Chilean risks finding himself outside of the direct qualifying positions. Without going any further, At the 2024 Australian Open, Tomás Barrios had to play the qualifications being 103rd in the world since he was six places below the cut.
Concretely, for the clay court circuit, he defends units in the ATP 250 in Houston (45 points) and in Munich (45), in addition to the Masters 1000 in Rome (45) and Madrid (45). For the latter two, their presence in the main draw is almost direct.
Another problem that appears in their programming is that these two months will be decisive for their aspirations to access the Paris Olympic Games, which define their qualifications just after Roland Garros. The 56 best will be entered by ranking, respecting the maximum quota of four per country.
