The Serbian Novak Djokovic regained the leadership of the world tennis ranking (ATP) on Monday, relegating the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz to second place, while the Portuguese Nuno Borges continues to rise, now ranking 65th in the hierarchy.
After having entered the top-70 for the first time two weeks ago, then in 68th position, Nuno Borges continues to strengthen his status as the best Portuguese tennis player, which is a good incentive for the maiato’s participation in the Estoril Open, which starts this Monday.
Alcaraz, who had benefited from Djokovic’s absence in the United States, lost on Friday in the Miami Masters 1,000 semifinal against Italian Jannik Sinner and allowed the Serbian ‘legend’ to experience week 380 at the top of the world hierarchy.
The Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas maintains third place in the ranking, ahead of the Russian Daniil Medvedev, who took advantage of the victory in Miami to rise from fifth to fourth place, to the detriment of Casper Ruud, with whom he exchanged positions, after Norwegian had fallen in the third round of the Florida tournament.
Jannik Sinner, defeated by Medvedev in the Miami final, moved up two places and joins the top-10, in ninth place, and Russian Karen Khachanov registered the most significant rise at the top of the ranking, climbing five places (11 °). .
In the women’s ranking (WTA), which did not register any change in the top eight positions, the Polish Iga Swiatek maintains the lead, followed by the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka and the American Jessica Pegula.
