One of the greatest tennis players of all time is not even among the 100 best on the last list.
Novak Djoković returned to the top of the ATP list on Monday, 21 March, but on the other hand experienced a steep decline in the ATP race rankings.
As it is known, this is a list which exclusively takes into account the points for the current year and according to which tennis players are ranked for the Final Tournament of the season.
As Nole played only the ATP tournament in Dubai this season, where he was eliminated in the quarterfinals, he has only 90 points on this list, and after Indian Wells, he fell from the already low 111th place to an ever lower 130th.
It is a ranking that the best tennis player in the world probably doesn't remember, since he hasn't been ranked so low in years.
By far the first in the ATP race is Rafael Nadal with 3,350 points, ahead of Daniil Medvedev who won only 1,720. The third placed is the winner of Indian Wells Taylor Fritz, and the Top 10 also includes Felix Auger Aliassime, Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Carlos Alcaraz, Matteo Berrettini, Denis Shapovalov and Roberto Bautista Agut.
As for the Serbian tennis players on the list of the ATP race, the best placed is Miomir Kecmanović, who occupies the 16th position. Behind him is Filip Krajinović who is 64th on the list, and among the Top 100 is only Dušan Lajović who is 96th. Nikola Milojević comes ahead of Novak, on the 121st position, while Laslo Đere is 140th.
