While the 2022 edition of Wimbledon, won on Sunday by Novak Djokovic, did not distribute any ATP points, it is the cacophony in the standings.


It's a funny paradox.

After his victory on Sunday in the Wimbledon final, synonymous with 7th coronation in London.

Novak Djokovic falls 4 places in the ATP ranking, published this Monday morning.

The reason ?

Therefore, the points acquired during the tournament in 2021 are lost by the players, because a tournament overwrites the previous one from one year to another, but not replaced.

This is also the case for Matteo Berrettini, the Italian finalist for the 2021 edition and package for Covid this year: he loses 4 places and finds himself 15th.

Nick Kyrgios, 2022 Wimbledon finalist, finds himself relegated to 45th position.

The big winners of this reshuffle are Rafael Nadal and Daniil Medvedev.

The Spaniard, forfeited in 2021, grabbed a place and returned to the Top 3. The Russian, banned from playing this year, did not lose a point and remained world No. 1, just ahead of Zverev.
