Starting this Monday and after nearly 20 years, neither Roger nor Rafa nor Novak occupy the first two places in the ATP rankings.
Roger Federer almost 41 years old, Rafael Nadal with 36 and Novak Djokovic with 35. Time passed but at least one of them was still there. As of Monday, neither the Swiss, nor the Spanish nor the Serbian are in the top two in the ATP rankings. Is the end of the Big 3 near?
Novak Djokovic fell this Monday third place in the world tennis rankingsthat the first place was occupied by the Russian Daniil Medvedevaccompanied by the German Alexander Zverev. The Serbian fell to the top two spots in the rankings for the first time since October 2018, hurt by the points he dropped in a season with no continuation and no results from the previous ones.
The Serbian, champion of Roland Garros 2021, was eliminated this year in the quarterfinals of both tournaments and will not be able to play in the first Grand Slam of the season, the Australian Open, due to not applying the Covid-19 vaccine. So far in 2022, Nole has only played 6 open games, recorded a total of 16 wins and 5 losses, and has only won one title, the Rome Masters 1000. This year he has already lost to number 1 within two weeks in the hands of Medvedev, who now has a difference of 1180 points against him compared to just 150 last season.
The ATP ranking and a historic moment without Djokovic, Federer or Nadal in the top two
For the first time since November 2003, neither Roger nor Rafa nor Novak were included in the top two positions in the ATP rankings. Meanwhile, the Swiss left the Top 50 after being combined for 22 years: he has not played since Wimbledon 2021 and is 68th in the world.
