Taking 2,000 points last year from the Wimbledon winner was decided by the ATP players council. Both Fed and Rafa were on the council along with an assortment of players that had no expectation of winning the tournament. It was an easy decision to punish your leading rival.
Alcaraz lost less than 200 points from that move. He's not complicit in that but has surely benefited. Alcaraz gains the #1 ranking and top seed at Wimbledon by 80 points.
