ATP Rankings Update: Djokovic keeps no. 1 as Karatsev moves into top 50

It has been a very exciting Australian Open fortnight which brought Novak Djokovic his 9th Australian Open and Aslan Karatsev a top 50 ranking.

The Australian Open came and went and besides delivering some top match and a high level of tennis it gave us a new breakout tennis player in the form of Aslan Karatsev. The Russian has been the story of the Grand Slam reaching the semifinal at the first Grand Slam he ever played. The Russian was ranked as the 114th player in the World prior to the event and now he is the 42nd player in the World. That is a leap of 72 spots which might just be the biggest one ever.
