Serbia’s Novak Djokovic is now certain to keep his top spot
in the ATP Ranking at least till the US Open 2024.
The 36-year-old finished 2023 strongly after winning the ATP
Finals in Turin with a win over young Jannik Sinner in the final with a score
of 6-3, 6-3. With that win, Djokovic is now set to keep the top spot in the
rankings at least till the first Grand Slam of the year.
The Belgrade-born has 11,245 live ranking points. On the other
hand, Alcaraz, who is placed in the second spot, has 8,855 live ranking points.
Djokovic is often regarded as the greatest player in the history
of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 24 Grand Slam
titles. The current world number one ended up winning three major titles out of
the four in 2023.
His only defeat in a Grand Slam match this year was in the
final at Wimbledon to Alcaraz who came out on top in a five-set thrilling
contest with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.
Other than that, Djokovic won the Australian Open by beating
Stefanos Tsitsipas, the French Open by beating Casper Ruud and the US Open by
getting the better of Daniil Medvedev.
