From the first seconds of this Monday,
the return of Novak Djokovic to the top of the ATP ranking is a reality
.
Few hours have passed since he won the Australian Open for the tenth time, which, among other sporting milestones, allowed the Serbian to return to being number 1 in the ranking, which also showed the fall of the Spanish Rafael Nadal out of the Top 5 and few movements to Argentine tennis players.
The Balkan, who won four places, dethroned the Spanish
Carlos Alcaraz
, who was unable to play the first Grand Slam of the season due to injury and is now number two.
Thanks to his twenty-second Grand Slam title - he reached Nadal as the most winners in history in that category - the 35-year-old player is in his
374th week
, since July 2011 and his first time, at the top of world tennis. .
In this way,
he stalks the absolute record of the German Stefanie Graf
who holds it with
377 weeks
as world number 1.

Stefanos Tsitsipas
rose one place, to third place, to the detriment of the Norwegian
Casper Ruud
, and is reunited with the
best classification of his career
, which he already reached for the first time in August 2021 .
The Russian
Andrey Rublev
, defeated in the quarterfinals by Djokovic in Melbourne, is fifth, moving up one place, and also found himself in the best place of his sporting life.
The Spanish
Rafael Nadal
, eliminated in the second round of the Australian Major, lost four places and left the Top 5: he was in sixth place.
The Canadian
Felix Auger-Aliassime
remains in seventh place.
The American
Taylor Fritz
, the Danish
Holger Rune
and the Polish
Hubert Hurkacz
gain a position to be eighth, ninth and tenth, respectively.
Another of the great victims of Australia was
Daniil Medvedev
after losing 1,110 points and leaving the top 10, falling four positions to number 12.
Among the other players in the Top 20, the Russian
Karen Khachanov
, a semi-finalist in Melbourne, moved up
seven places
, to settle in thirteenth position.
The greatest progression is for the American Tommy Paul
, who also reached the semifinals, and who gained
16 positions
and enters the Top 20 for the first time in 25 years, to settle in 19th place.
His compatriot
Ben Shelton
, whom he eliminated in the quarterfinals, registers the best progression in the Top 100, with 45 places won, to put himself 44th in the standings.

seven
Argentines among the 100 best players in the world :
