London / Vienna (APA / dpa / sda) – For the first time in two years, tennis player Novak Djokovic has once again won the top of the world rankings. Despite his defeat in the domestic tournament final in Paris, the 31-year-old Serb replaced Spanish Rafael Nadal on Monday as number one. Djokovic is at the top of the ATP rankings for the fourth time since July 2011 – a total of 224 weeks to date.
Only as a second professional, he managed to become in a season of a place outside the top-20 again the number one. The Russian Marat Safin only achieved this goal 18 years ago. "When I think about what I experienced last year, it's a phenomenal feat," said Djokovic, often suffering long-term injuries. After the Australian Open in January, he had to undergo an operation of the elbow. He made his comeback on the tour in April and fought back. After an impressive run of 22 wins, he lost in the Paris final with a 5: 7.4: 6 over undefeated Karen Khachanov.
For the Russian, the win at the tournament had another interesting side effect. The 22-year-old is eleventh in the ATP rankings and ranked as never before. Unchanged in eighth place, Austria's Dominic Thiem appeared on Monday, securing his third-place finish at the ATP Tour Finals in London (November 11-18), Friday, in eighth place of the race.
