Novak Djokovic, fresh from notching up a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam title, moved back to the top of the ATP rankings released Monday, while Rafael Nadal dropped out of the top 100.
It was a 388th week as the world's number one for the
36-year-old Djokovic, who jumped two places in the standings after his French
Open victory.
He beat Spanish rival Carlos Alcaraz, 20, who had held the
number one spot until the French Open, in the semi-final.
Russian Daniil Medvedev, who crashed out in the first round
of Roland Garros, also dropped a place, while Norway's beaten finalist Casper
Ruud stays in fourth, 40 points ahead of Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Fourteen-time French Open winner Nadal, however, paid the
price for his absence through his long-term hip injury, dropping 121 places to
136th in the rankings.
