Nadal Djokovic

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are about to start their race for the top position in the rankings and the Spaniard is already leading the Serbian the live rankings. In fact, in the live rankings, Novak drops the oints that he accumulated last year in Paris and in London so the King of Clay is leading by 1,280 points.

Nadal ending the year as the world no.1

Rafa is sure to end the season as the world no.1 if he wins the title in Paris or he reaches the final, but he doesn’t lose to Novak Djokovic. Anyway, the Serbian needs to have an extremely strong run in France if he wants to have a chance of grabbing the top spot of the rankings by the end of the year. Djokovic started soon after Wimbledon that his immediate target would have been breaking Federer’s record of being more than 310 weeks at the top of the rankings. It would have been extremely important for the Serbi to end the year as the world no.1 to break this record, but the chances are very low for this to happen.

Matteo Berrettini no.8

Matteo has broken in the top10 and he is currently number 8 in the live rankings. This means that if he manages to keep the position, he will qualify for the ATP Finals in London.
