Novak Djokovic makes it 370 weeks at number one
Novak Djokovic extended his record at the top of the ATP rankings to 370 weeks on Monday while Rafael Nadal drops down a place to number five. The Spaniard was knocked out of the Italian Open in the last 16 and is leapfrogged by the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas who made it all the way to the final where he was turned over in straight sets by an inspired Djokovic. The Serb, who claimed his sixth Italian Open title, has now spent 60 weeks more at number one than the next man on the list Roger Federer (310).

Carlos Alcaraz Soars To Sixth In ATP Rankings After Madrid Open Romp

He had beaten his compatriot Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic on the way to the final. The only worry for Alcaraz is a sore ankle which will see him miss this week's Rome tournament in order to be fit for the French Open which gets underway on May 22.

Así queda el ranking ATP tras el Mutua Madrid Open: número 1, clasificación y puntos
Cada torneo que pisa genera un nuevo terremoto en el ranking. Como ya hiciera tras lograr el ATP 500 de Río, irrumpiendo en el Top 20, tras Miami, quedándose a las puertas del Top 10, o tras el Conde Godó,, Carlos Alcaraz vuelve a ascender hasta su mejor posición de siempre. Después de Madrid, el prodigio de El Palmar ya es 6º en la clasificación ATP. «Todavía me quedan ocho jugadores por delante para ser el mejor del mundo»,, que sigue como número uno, en semifinales. Ahora, ya sólo le quedan cinco. Como un cohete.
