Novak Djokovic has become world number 1 again, Daniil Medvedev is 4th and Jannik Sinner is 9th. Discover the ATP ranking for Monday April 3.
The American tour (Indian Wells – Miami) ended on Sunday April 2 with a victory for Daniil Medvedev in Florida over Jannik Sinner in the final 7/5 – 6/3. The Russian lifted, with this victory, his 19th title and the 4th trophy of the 2023 season after Rotterdam, Doha, Dubai. The new world number 4 is making a stratospheric start to the season with 29 wins for only 3 losses. Daniil Medvedev is the first since a certain Roger Federer in 2006 to reach 5 finals before the clay court season. The player made a final at Indian Wells before Miami. He has also won 23 of his last 24 games. The Medvedev that we knew therefore seems to be back, he who lived a very contrasting year 2022.
His opponent in the final, Jannik Sinner has returned to the top 10. A place he has fully deserved with his career in the United States. After his semi-final loss in California against Carlos Alcaraz, the Italian then took revenge in Miami by beating him in turn in the last four. Thanks to this successful career, he has climbed the rankings, so here he is at the gates of the top 8. In front of him there is Holger Rune who remains 8th, Felix Auger-Aliassime who went down to 7th with his poor results and Andrey Rublev who climbed to 6th place.
But the big change in this ATP ranking is the world number 1 spot that was lost to Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz. Defending champion in Miami, the current world number 2 has not been able to keep his trophy. This result cost him the tennis throne at the expense of Novak Djokovic. Even ousted from American tournaments due to his non-vaccination against Covid-19, the Serb arrived without playing to regain his throne. In reality, Nole having won a lot has a fairly large margin over his opponents who have not acquired as many points as him. Not sure that his young counterpart will resume his rank anytime soon because by dint of playing and diving on the ground, the young tennis player was injured. He inherited a stress fracture in his right hand. He could not return to the field until after Wimbledon, next August.
Lower, Rafael Nadal continues to fall in the rankings. He is 14th. Emil Ruusuvuori grabbed 17 places (37th). Richard Gasquet drops to 42nd but remains the French number 1. Adrian Mannarino returns to the top 50 (49th), followed by Benjamin Bonzi (50th). Grégoire Barrère and Constant Lestienne are respectively 62nd and 63rd in the world. Finally Christopher Eubanks joined the top 100 (85th).
What is the ATP ranking?
Without playing during the American tour in March, Novak Djokovic has again become the world number 1. Carlos Alcaraz who won the Miami tournament in 2022 lost his points. Medvedev, who succeeded him, rose to 4th place in the world. The ATP ranking:
What is the classification of the ATP Race?
The Race ranking is dominated by Serbian Novak Djokovic, winner of the first Grand Slam tournament of the year.
What are the differences between the ATP ranking and the Race ranking?
Unlike the “classic” ATP ranking, which is updated every week taking into account the points earned over the previous 52 weeks, the ATP Race ranking only takes into account the points earned during the current season and gradually accumulates the ten -eight best results.
The ATP ranking consists of awarding points based on the performance of each player during major competitions. In total, 18 competitions are taken into account and the points accumulated are valid for 52 weeks. Thus, for example, the winner of a grand slam garners 2000 points, the runner-up 1200 points, the semi-finalist 720 points and so on. For each major tournament the points are not the same, because at the masters 1000 the victory awards 1000 points, the final 600 points, and the semi-final 360.
The leaderboard is updated weekly and the points are valid for one year, but instead of being added up, they are compared. In other words, the performance of the player on a competition of the current year is compared to that of the same competition the past year. The points obtained are added to his total to obtain a new total for the week, for a new ranking that comes out every Monday.
