It's official: Djokovic No.1 seed; Potential clash with Nadal in the final
Djokovic will be No. 1 seed at the third Grand Slam of the season, because the first two players on the ATP ranking list will be absent.
Medvedev will miss the tournament because all Russian and Belarusian representatives have been suspended, and Zverev due to the injury he suffered in the semifinals of Roland Garros.
Djokovic still ranked no. 1, but he will not break the record
Djokovic currently has 8.770 points, 110 less than on the previous list, and the points he lost by not winning the title at Roland Garros will be erased on June 13.
Then he will be overtaken by Daniil Medvedev, who currently has 8.160 points.
Djokovic's fierce criticism: "4.000 points without the opportunity to defend them"
The ATP recently punished Wimbledon for sanctions against the Russians and deprived them of the right to award ATP and WTA points.
Due to that, the participation of many tennis players was questioned, but Novak confirmed that he is not one of them.
Novak: Alkaraz played bravely and maturely, he deserved to win
True, he was defeated by 19-year-old Carlos Alcaraz, but it was a great match in which the younger tennis player had more strength and nerves in the tied finish of the match.
Madrid, in general, was a big step forward for Novak after Belgrade, especially in terms of fitness and level of play, and after the match with Alkaraz, he was not too disappointed.
