Paris-Sana
Russian Daniil Medvedev regained the top spot in the ATP rankings, at the expense of Serbian Novak Djokovic, who fell to third place, while German Alexander Zverev became runners-up.
This is the first time since 2003 that none of the world's top players, whether Djokovic, Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer, are in the first two places.
Medvedev, 26, topped the world rankings for the first time in his career on February 28, but he held out for only two weeks after disappointing results in the sessions in which he participated.
But Djokovic's loss at Roland Garros, the second grand slam, after being knocked out in the quarter-finals at the end of last month by Nadal, who finished fourth in the new classification, paved the way for Medvedev to return to the top.
Medvedev will not be able to compete in the third Grand Slam Wimbledon after the Russian and Belarusian players were banned from participating under the pretext of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, but the WTA and WTA will suspend the distribution of classification points at Wimbledon in response to the unwelcome decision of the organizers.
