This Monday will begin the new edition of Wimbledon, a tournament that this year does not count in the world rankings. The veto of the London Grand Slam on Russian and Belarusian players after the invasion of Ukraine resulted in this brutal move by the ATP and the WTA leaving many victims.
Undoubtedly, the most affected was Novak Djokovic. The Serbian currently appears in third place, but the impossibility of defending the 2,000 points achieved last year he is sentenced to drop to seventh in two weekswhen scores are updated.
The fact that ATP does not count Wimbledon points the ranking for next July 11 has been fully decided, with Daniil Medvedev as number 1 (7,775 points)Alexander Zverev number 2 (6,850) and Rafa Nadal (6,165), who in two weeks will return to the world tennis podium.
Behind them are Stefanos Tsitsipas (5,150), Casper Rudd (5,050) and Carlos Alcaraz (4,845), surpassing Djokovic (4,770) by just 75 points.
So, Nole will remain 1,395 points behind Nadaland to explicitly concerned prospects in the short and medium term, because without last-minute changes, he would not be able to enter the United States because he was not vaccinated and, therefore, he would not be able to score points. at the Masters 1000 at Cincinatti or the US Open, which would make it nearly impossible for the mission to fight for number 1 by the end of the year and it could even complicate his access to the ATP Finals in Turin, something that doesn’t seem to worry him too much.
“Now I’m not chasing the ranking like I used to, when I wanted to break Federer’s record. Less important in terms of priority. I was not able to defend the 4,000 points between Australia and here, I was affected, but my priorities were different “Djokovic said in the preview of his Wimbledon debut.
