Novak Djokovic returns to world no. 1 ranking, Nadal is out of the top 100

Novak Djokovic returns to his king place at the top of the ranking after winning the french open 2023 against Casper Ruud.

Novak Djokovic reclaimed his number one spot after creating the history of winning 23 grand slams as he won the French Open against Casper Ruud in the final by the scoreline of 7-6 (7-1), 6-3, 7-5.

Novak Djokovic dropped to ranked 3rd before the French Open, but the Serbian Iron Man Djokovic went all out in the Roland Garros and dominated the tournament to become the first player in the men’s category to win the 23 grand slam. The biggest challenge he faced in the tournament was in the semi-final against Carlos Alcaraz, who was the number 1st ranked in the men’s category.

Rafael Nadal faced a huge drop in his ranking after being injured for a long time. His current ranking is 136, which is unbelievable, even though he got injured in Australian Open.

Rafael Nadal was 15 before the new ranking came out, but now he dropped to 136, which will hurt his image. However, he already told the media that he would be retired by next year and might play 1-2 grand slams at most if things go right for him.

Novak Djokovic is still looking strong and fit, which is amazing because he is 36 years old, but how he played in the long rally was commendable.
