Stefanos Tsitsipas

Stefanos Tsitsipas reached the quarterfinals of the Barcelona Open by defeating Danis Shapovalov 6-3, 6-2 on Thursday.

The second-seeded Greek saved both break points he faced against the Canadian to move to 18-5 for the season.

Champion Stefanos Tsitsipas crashed out of the Monte Carlo Masters when he slumped to a 6-2 6-4 defeat against American Taylor Fritz in the quarter-finals on Friday.

Greek second seed Tsitsipas, who triumphed at the Monte Carlo Country Club in the last two editions, was never in the mix against Fritz, who reached the last four of a Masters event for the first time.

BELGRADE - Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic is back in the number one spot of the ATP rankings.

He took over from Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, who has failed to defend his title at the Miami Masters.

Djokovic was forced to miss the tournament.

The Serbian tops the rankings with 7,160 points and Alcaraz is in second place with 6,780 points.

Men's second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas was sent packing by Karen Khachanov at the Miami Open on Tuesday.

Khachanov, seeded 14th, earned his first win over Tsitsipas in seven meetings, taking down the Greek world number three 7-6(4) 6-4 in the fourth round to end a 23-match winless run against a top-10 opponent.

MONTE CARLO - Serbia's Novak Djokovic, the world number one in men's tennis, is on the list of participants of the April 9-16 Monte Carlo Masters tournament.

Djokovic has missed the Indian Wells Masters after being denied permission to enter the US.

For the same reason, he is also likely to miss the Miami Masters, which begins on March 22.

Stefanos Tsitsipas's hopes of taking over the world number one ranking with an Indian Wells title ended in a 7-6(0) 4-6 7-6(5) second-round loss to Australian Jordan Thompson on Friday.

World number three Stefanos Tsitsipas said he does not expect to put up much of a fight at Indian Wells or the Miami Open as he continues to nurse a shoulder injury he suffered earlier in the year.

BELGRADE - Serbia's Novak Djokovic, the world number one in men's tennis singles, could play at the US Open following the latest decisions by US authorities.

The Biden administration has announced it would on May 11 lift the COVID-19 emergency introduced in 2020.

There are no words, so comprehensive, to explain what tennis true number one player did on that January 29, 2023.

Djokovic patiently greeted everyone, signed cards, T-shirts, papers, balls, took pictures, chatted with them...
There is no doubt that the Serbian tennis player has repaid his fans for the huge support he had in the past two weeks in Melbourne.
