Novak Djokovic has usurped the world number one from Carlos Alcaraz both at the Australian Open and also after winning Roland Garros. The Serbian in the Grand Slam regained the position of successor to the Spaniard, who took it from him before Paris and just a few days before the start of London.
Wimbledon returned to pass judgment. In the same classified for the final, number one is one of the additional prizes to conquer a new Grand Slam. And Alcaraz jumped on the bench in the garden of Djokovic. Champion at the All England Club and over No. 1. He took 2,000 points, up to 1,200 from his rival, and his advantage increased from 80 to 880. They were 9,675 to 9,595 points.
Alcaraz is celebrating his fourth stint at the head of the ATP classification, adding a total of 29 weeks since he was promoted on September 12, 2022 after becoming US Open champion.
Djokovic holds the tenure record. In nine different cycles, 389 weeks of No. 1, which he first met on July 4, 2011.
The tug of war between the two will continue for the rest of the season, as the real goal of one and the other is, as the ATP Finals approaches, closure, to finish as the final leader of the season. honor equal to Carlos Alcaraz in 2022.

Alcaraz It’s difficult until the US Open, because his defense is 2,640 points, nothing Djokovic, which will only add up because last year he was unable to travel due to not being vaccinated against covid. After New York, the rules were reversed: the Serbian would expose 2,850 and the Spaniard, only 360 since he suffered an abdominal injury indoors in Paris and was left without the Masters Final in Turin.
The ATP Race, with points aggregated this season, records parity. An advantage of 880 points is not a certain guarantee, but rather a cushion greater than the difference between a Grand Slam champion (2,000) and a finalist (1,200).
There remains the Grand Slam (US Open), three Masters 1000 (Canada, Cincinnati, Paris) and the ATP Finals, in addition to the ATP 250 or 500 who decided to play one or the other. The Davis Cup is also on his agenda, but does not award points.
