ATP RANKING. Absent in Indian Wells, Novak Djokovic took advantage of the early elimination of Daniil Medvevdev at the first Masters 1000 of the season to take over the reins of the ATP rankings on Monday March 21.
A week after seizing the throne, Daniil Medvedev is already losing it. The Russian was supposed to at least make it to the quarter-finals of the Indian Wells Masters 1000, but the Australian Open finalist this year lost in the round of 16 to Frenchman Gaël Monfils. This rout allows Novak Djokovic, unvaccinated and deprived of playing across the Atlantic, to regain the head of the ATP ranking published this Monday after the triumph of Taylor Fritz against Rafael Nadal who finds the podium. The Spaniard dislodges Alexander Zverev, who left Indian Wells. The only other change in the top 10: Hubert Hurkacz joins in place of Jannik Sinner.
First Frenchman in the ranking, Gaël Monfils (23rd) climbs 5 places after his good performance last week in Indian Wells. Benoit Paire (49th) and Benjamin Bonzi (58th) gain four places. Conversely, Ugo Humbert fell four places (42nd).

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.
