(Paris) Spain reigns over the ATP ranking published on Monday with Carlos Alcaraz still world No.1 while his glorious elder Rafael Nadal takes advantage, without playing, of the misadventures of the Norwegian Casper Ruud in Seoul to climb back to 2e square.

Winner in Tel Aviv of his third tournament of the year after Rome (Masters 1000) and Wimbledon, Djokovic remains 7e but scores 250 valuable points in the race for the ATP (ex-Masters) finals, his end-of-season goal.

The Serb can still earn points this week if he does as well in Astana, another ATP 250 tournament in which he participates.

The other superstar of the circuit, Rafael Nadal, is also one of the beneficiaries of this new classification: even without playing, the 36-year-old Mallorcan goes back to the 2e place (+1), thanks to the poor performance of Casper Ruud, eliminated in the quarter-finals in Seoul, where he was the No.1 seed.

Moreover, while no major tournament took place last week, few changes were recorded in the Top 20, with only the Croatian Marin Cilic gaining two positions (from 16e at 14e), thanks to his final in Tel-Aviv against “Djoko”.
