ATP Rankings Update: Djokovic still No. 1 with Medvedev reducing the gap

It's Monday and the new ATP Rankings are out with Novak Djokovic still world number one but the gap between him and Medvedev is smaller than ever.

A great week of tennis in Rome has passed with Novak Djokovic reaching the finals of the event and losing to Rafael Nadal. That loss cost him 400 ATP points which tightened the gap between him and Medvedev even further. There haven't been any other changes in the top 10 but there were some in the top 20.

Grigor Dimitrov and Casper Ruud have dropped down a few spots with Monfils, Shapovalov, Raonic and Sinner all moving up the rankings. Aslan Karatsev is up to 25 while Sonego is back at 28. Reilly Opelka had a great week in Rome and jumped to 31 because of it.
