None of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic in ATP top 2; first since 2003

None of the so-called Big Three of men's tennis — Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic — was in the No. 1 or No. 2 spots in the ATP rankings on Monday, the first time that's been the case in nearly 20 years.

Daniil Medvedev rose one place to return to No. 1, where he briefly spent time earlier this season, and Alexander Zverev moved up to a career-best No. 2.

Djokovic slid from No. 1 to No. 3, because his points for winning the French Open in 2021 dropped off his record on Monday. The ATP rankings are based on a player's top 18 tournament results over the preceding 52 weeks (19 if he participated in the ATP Tour Finals).

At Roland Garros this year, Djokovic's title defense ended with a quarterfinal loss to Nadal, who wound up earning his 14th championship at Roland Garros — and 22nd career Grand Slam trophy.

Nadal remained at No. 4 this week; even though he has won the season's first two major tournaments, he missed most of the last half of 2021 and part of this year, too, so he only has 10 tournaments on his 52-week record.

French Open runner-up Casper Ruud went up one spot to a career-high No. 5.

Federer had a series of knee operations and hasn't played anywhere since Wimbledon last July. He only has points from four
