The Serbian dominates the world rankings with an iron hand, thanks to him 9,855 pointswhile Alcaraz has 8,805 this week, 300 less than the last classification.
In the absence of knowing when the Murcian can return to the courts, it is expected that this distance can be extended and even his second position is somewhat ‘threatened’ by the two tennis players who follow him in the classification. : the Italian Jannik Sinnerthird in the world with 8,270 points, and the Russian Daniel Medvedevwhich remains in fourth position (8,015) despite losing 250 points this week.
compatriot of Medvedev, Andrey Rublev (5,110) continued his particular pulse in German Alexander Zverev (5,085) for fifth place in the ATP rankings.
The danish Holger Rune He remains seventh with his 3,700 points and extends his lead over the Pole Hubert Hurkacz (3,395), which this week lost 205 points.
Some complete the Top-10 of the ATP ranking Alex de Minaur (3.210) and Taylor Fritz (3,150), who did not experience any kind of difference compared to last week, but they think Casper Ruud (3,120, adding 155 points this week) and Stefanos Tsitsipas (3,080 and +90), who exchange positions this week, are dangerously close to them and threaten their privileged position among the 10 best tennis players in the world.
