Not saying that the detail is enough to start the joy of a 21st Grand Slam coronation for Novak Djokovic, especially after his Australian misadventures and his disappointment in Paris, while his greatest rival, Rafael Nadal, made the break in the race for the GOAT .
But it is very annoying in itself to fall to 7th place in the world when you have just rolled on the competition again at Wimbledon, no points having been awarded in the 2022 edition of the prestigious tournament on grass.
Russian Daniil Medvedev remains world number 1, despite not having the right to play at Wimbledon, the organizers having decided to exclude all Russian and Belarusian players due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
Opposed to this decision of the leaders of the London tournament, the ATP decided not to distribute points in the world ranking.
Nadal wins a place
Djokovic therefore lost the 2,000 units of his victory last year in the Wimbledon final against Matteo Berrettini.
The Italian, package this year due to contamination with Covid-19, also lost four places and found himself 15th.
As for Nick Kyrgios, beaten by Djokovic in the final on Sunday on Center Court, he lost five places to drop to 45th place.
The main beneficiary of the lack of points distributed at Wimbledon this year is Rafael Nadal, who withdrew from the semi-finals due to an abdominal tear, who moved up a place and returned to the Top 3.
