Djokovic said goodbye to a number 1 who looks very bad for him in the future

Date:

In addition to the involvement in losing a Grand Slam title, the defeat ten days ago against Rafa Nadal in the quarterfinals of Roland Garros resulted in the separation of Novak Djokovic from number one in the world which has fallen since Monday again at the hands of Russian Daniil Medvedev.

Good news for the Muscovite tennis player who has accumulated setbacks in recent seasons. A consolation for the Russian who did not win the title at Den Bosch, who were defeated by young and unknown Dutchman Tim Van Rijthoven in the final.

He still lacks any trophy in 2022 Medvedev having to watch the Wimbledon tournament on television where players from Russia and Belarus are prohibited from registering due to the invasion of Ukraine.

To all this was added the rest he had suffered in his activity, of nearly two months, owing to a hernia. He missed most of the clay court season. He stopped at the beginning of April and did not return until mid -May, at the Geneva tournamentin preparation for Roland Garros where he was stuck in the round of 16.

This is the second time Medvedev has reached the top of the circuit. This was last February 28th when the Russian stood at number one benefited from Djokovic’s defeat in the quarterfinals of the Dubai tournament against Czech Jiri Vesely. It was the competitive premiere of the Serbian, who was sidelined for the season due to his refusal to be vaccinated against covid.

The third Russian to be the first in the tour classification afterwards Yevgeny Kafelnikovthat six weeks, and Marat Safinwhich remained nine, then remained at the top of the rankings for only twenty -one days.

Now Medvedev is back at the top of the table after adjusting the classification after Roland Garros, whose score has been adjusted since Monday because last year, the Paris Grand Slam ended a week later than in 2022. So, the Balkans that won the title in 2021 and this time was left in the quarterfinals, losing 2000 points.

Djokovic is not the only one to drop from the top of the world rankings. dropped to third place. German Alexander Zverev, who was injured in the Paris semifinal against Nadal, also surpassed him in the rankings. For the first time in nineteen years, either the Serbian, or the Spaniard or the Swiss Roger Federer, who is out of circulation this season, will not occupy one of the top two positions.

The Serbian has accumulated 372 weeks as number one in the world. The Belgrade player is now teaching at Wimbledon where he hopes to capture his second title of the season after achieving the Masters 1000 in Rome and shorten the distance to Nadal in the total number of Grand Slam victories.

The Spanish, number four in the world rankings, won the Australian Open as well as Roland Garros. Twenty -two majors, two more than Serbian. Balearic’s presence at Wimbledon is still in the air due to his chronic foot pain. He was first on the champion race table with a clear advantage over Carlos Alcaraz, second, and Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, third.

First place in the ranking also goes into Nadal’s calculations if his new treatment allows him to compete. on important events in the second part of the course. The Spaniard will be out of tournaments for a few months to the end of 2021, so no matter how little he is in the rest of the season, he can see the goal.

Djokovic has not returned to competition since falling to Nadal on center court in Paris. And he won’t make it until the All England Club in London where he has won six times, two less than Roger Federer.

The third Grand Slam of the season will not feature Medvedev due to the ban on Russian players. However, due to this unusual situation, the competition will not distribute points. This is good for the next world number one who can maintain and stabilize his condition for a few weeks. and settle on the new ranking order.

Against Novak Djokovic He will not be able to defend his 2,000 -point title since last year and will be more than 3,000 behind Medvedev.making it almost impossible mission to regain the throne before the end of the year.
