The trio consisting of Serb Novak Djokovic, Russian Daniel Medvedev and German Alexander Zverev is still at the top of the ATP rankings published on Monday, with the return of former world No. 1 Andy Murray to the top-100. in 95th place.
Neither Djokovic, who was expelled from Australia after a legal slam before the first Grand Slam of the year for not being vaccinated against Covid-19, nor Medvedev, an unlucky Melbourne finalist eight days ago, have played since tournament won by Rafael Nadal. but the difference between the two men has widened slightly (1,240 points for Djokovic, up from 890 last week).
The Serb is benefiting from the points he earned in Melbourne until February 21st last year: the ATP ranking established runs for a year and the first Grand Slam of the year has been postponed to February 2021.
Alexander Zverev, the only player in the top three to have played in a tournament in the aftermath of the Australian Open, where he was eliminated in the round of 16 by Denis Shapovalov, lost on Sunday in the final of the Open ATP 250 in Montpellier to the Kazakh Alexander Bublik who won four places (no 31) thanks to this first success.
No change should be made in the world top-10 this week.
Lower in the standings, the Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut, who was eliminated by Bublik in the Montpellier semifinals, nibbled on two places (No. 17) and specifically returns to the Frenchman Gaël Monfils, who was released as soon as he entered the match. the Hérault (# 18, -2).
Finally, much lower, note the return of the former Scottish No. 1 in the world Andy Murray to the top-100, in 95th place (+7). The 34-year-old three-time US Open winner, who is struggling to regain his best level since major surgery in 2019 for a hip problem, has just announced he will miss the entire season – including Roland-Garros – in order to put all odds on his part for Wimbledon (June 27-July 10).
