Google News Rafael Nadal can benefit from for an algorithm and skip the US Open

If rumors about a particular algorithm are confirmed, Rafael Nadal may have a chance to skip the US Open. The Spaniard will have to defend many points between the US Open and the Roland Garros: 5360. Yet rumors which talked about a particular algorithm that will subtract a fixed number of points, could actually favor the Spaniard.
In fact, he should defend 5360 points in just seven weeks: the victories at the US Open (2000 points), Roland Garros (2000 points) and in Rome (1,000 points) and the Madrid semifinal (360 points). Madrid's points are the most difficult: for those who arrive in the final or semi-final at the US Open, playing Madrid would be almost impossible.
The current points of each player would be divided for the 52 weeks of the season. The result would then be scaled every seven days, but it is still unknown for how many weeks. The example is precisely that of Rafael Nadal, who would benefit from the new algorithm.
Even Rome could be skipped by players who want to get to Paris first. There is more to say: Nadal could give up defending the New York points to focus entirely on the short autumn clay-wing. By choosing this solution, Nadal could risk only 1325 effective points, focusing entirely on defending the points on clay-courts.
Also Andy Murray talked about the ATP ranking
ATP announced the new schedule in recent weeks, but officially the re is still no news regarding the ranking. Murray is expected to play Washington, to then play both Cincinnati and the US Open in New York.
However, Andy Murray's presence for the clay-season is uncertain: "You won't be able to do everything, you will have to choose where to go to play." The Scot, who played the Battle of the Brits, expressed his opinion also on the ranking: "I think we need to think long and carefully about how to manage the ranking points," he said.
Furthermore, Murray said that when news about the ranking points will be heard, then many players will be able to decide which tournaments to play and which ones not: "It would not be safe for the health of those who had to go even to the quarterfinals or semi-finals at the US Open to move immediately to Europe.
Finding himself on the high ground of Madrid and on the clay-courts after so many months without playing with it. "Another hypothesis could be that of a two-year ranking. Here's what Murray thinks:" In this way, those who did well in 2019 and cannot defend the points in an optimal way would not be penalized.
If you could keep the points you scored last season, the rankings would be less altered. "For now there are many hypotheses but there is nothing official. And probably the news about the ranking points will arrive only a few weeks before the competition resumes.
