Carlos Alcaraz starts 2nd week as world no. 1 in ATP Rankings, Nadal 3rd, Djokovic 7th
ATP
The newest edition of the ATP Rankings didn't bring a lot of changes as players competed at the Davis Cup, where no points are awarded.
Although Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic lifted three out of four Grand Slam titles in 2022, the ATP Rankings were dominated by the young player throughout the majority of the season. For a very long time, Daniil Medvedev held the no. 1 spot and after winning his maiden Grand Slam title, Carlos Alcaraz became the youngest world no. 1 in the history of men's tennis.
Now, the young Spaniard started his second week as the highest-ranked player and for the second week in a row Casper Ruud is world number 3. Then, the young duo is followed by one of two players older than 27 in Top 10 of the ATP Rankings, Rafael Nadal.
Daniil Medvedev, who dropped from his no. 1 spot after the US Open is now fourth and Alexander Zverev, who is fighting an injury that he sustained at this year's Roland Garros is currently world number 5.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is fourth players in the 2022 ATP Race but only sixth player in the ATP Rankings and behind him is the second player older than 27 in Top 10, Novak Djokovic. Cameron Norrie is eight with Andrey Rublev in 9th and Hubert Hurkacz 10th closing the Top 10 of the ATP Rankings.

- If Jessica Pegula had to undergo such horror for using a bannes substance, so do these two tennis players. Penalty should apply to all players regardless of their excuses. They are professionals and know better!!
Stella112-12-2024 - All players should be treated the same for taking banned substances, if your no 1 in the world or no 300 man or woman you should not be allowed to keep playing,,VPH108-12-2024

- IDK, it looks like to me that Raducanu should praise herself and her team for 'gaming the system' as in playing the points and ranking game. When you look at her season of wild cards, skipping tournaments (including the Paris Olympics!), retiring from losing matches and avoiding qualifying rounds, it seems like there was some plan to move up the ranks without actually playing a lot of tennis. And it worked! Congrats!RealityCheckers04-12-2024
