What has to happen at the French Open for Jannik Sinner to surpass Novak Djokovic as the top player in the world? Sinner has the opportunity to make history by becoming the first Italian man to top the ATP world rankings at the second Grand Slam of the season.

As the defending champion, Djokovic will be down 2,000 points by the time the French Open begins, bringing his total score down to 7,860 points.
