It had become a certainty since the withdrawal of Rafael Nadal in Paris-Bercy. It is now official: Novak Djokovic, finalist of the Parisian tournament, becomes again world No. 1, two years after having given up his throne. Nadal drops to second place and Federer remains third. The Serb is likely to remain leader of the ATP standings until the end of the season, unless a serious disappointment in London, combined with a great performance of the Spaniard, who has not yet confirmed his participation.
Note the progress of Karen Khachanov, 22, surprise winner in Paris, his first Masters 1000. Starting at the beginning of the year around the 50th place in the world, 18th at the beginning of last week, here he is 11th, at the foot from the top 10, after winning seven places. the Russian is only 300 points behind John Isner. The most notable fall is that of another Serb, Filip Krajinovic. Finalist last year in Paris, he lost 59 places and is 93rd worldwide.
Richard Gasquet, 26th worldwide, remains the French No. 1 despite his elimination in the second round. He is followed closely by Gael Monfils (29th), Gilles Simon (30th) and Lucas Pouille (32nd).
