ATP Rankings Update: Medvedev moves closer to Djokovic who is still on top

Novak Djokovic is still number one in the world but the gap between him and the others is narrowing after two weeks of tennis in Australia.

Novak Djokovic was unable to defend his title at the Australian Open. That might cost him the number one spot in the rankings depending on how things go in the next few weeks but for now the Serbian is still on top. He leads ahead of Medvedev but the Russian was able to narrow the gap and it's only about 1000 points. Not much change happened in the top 10 as Zverev is still 3rd ahead of Tsitsipas at four.

Nadal is number 5 after his Australian Open triumph with Berrettini moving to number 6. A significant number of tennis players were able to improve their ranking after a solid result in Australia. Some of them are Fritz, Monfils, Evans, Opelka, Sonego and others. Dominic Thiem dropped down 21 spots and he is now ranked number 37.
