Novak Djokovic is no longer the world number one. After two years, he has been dethroned by Daniil Medvedev, for whom this is the first time at the top of the ATP rankings.
Interestingly, the Czech tennis player Jiri Vesely also has a big part in this. In Dubai, he showed an amazing run, during which he defeated Novak Djokovic and fell in the final to Andrey Rublyov.
After this fantastic week, Jiri Vesely returned to the elite 100, specifically to the 74th place. At the same time, he became the number one in men’s tennis.
It is also worth mentioning the fantastic performance of Rafael Nadal. He has been in excellent form, which has propelled him up to the current fourth place in the ATP rankings.
It should be noted that Novak Djokovic’s downfall was also caused by the recent affair regarding his participation in the Australian Open. Since he did not compete at the Grand Slam, he lost a large number of points.
The Czech fans were also pleased with the update of the WTA ranking, in which Barbora Krejcikova is the world number two for the first time.
