Novak Djokovic will stay some more at the top of the rankings after Daniil Medvedev lost in the Wimbledon fourth round to Hubert Hurkacz. The Russian was the only player who could have stolen the world number 1 rank from the Serbian sensation after the Championships. That will not happen anymore after he fell in 5 sets to the Pole.
Djokovic now has 11,113 points and the next top player alive in Wimbledon is Matteo Berrettini. If the Italian wins the slam, he will have “only” 6,288 points.
