Djokovic, at 36 years old, spent his 388th week as the world’s number one player, jumping two places in the rankings following his win at the French Open. In the semi-final, he defeated his Spanish rival, Carlos Alcaraz, who had previously held the number one spot.
Russian player Daniil Medvedev, who was eliminated in the first round of Roland Garros, dropped one place in the rankings. Meanwhile, Casper Ruud, the runner-up in the tournament, maintained his fourth position, 40 points ahead of Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas.
