Wimbledon champion, Alcaraz consolidates himself as number 1 in the world

The 20-year-old tennis player now has an 880 point advantage over Djokovic, second on the list, but in September he will have to defend the 2.000 points he gained last season when he became champion of the US Open, a tournament that did not feature the participation of Serbian for not being vaccinated against Covid-19.

Number 3 in the world continues to be the Russian Daniil Medvedev, a considerable distance from the first two, in a Top 10 that has remained unchanged.

German Alexander Zverev rose two positions and is back in the Top 20, in 19th place.

In turn, American Tommy Paul overtook Croatian Borna Coric (15th) to come in 14th and reach his best career ranking.

The highest placed Brazilian in the ATP rankings is Thiago Wild, number 121, who stood out at Roland Garros by defeating Medvedev in the first round. He is one place ahead of Thiago Monteiro (122nd), who fell 27 positions and left the Top 100 after more than a year.
