Wimbledon stripped Djokovic of No2

Novak Djokovic is the big winner of this year’s ATP Finals but also this season’s big loser based on the Wimbledon boycott and not counting the ATP points he gained in London over these two weeks.

The Serb was crowned champion at the All England Club last summer and should – under normal circumstances – have added 2,000 ATP points to his tally.

However, after the ATP’s decision not to count the points of this year’s event due to the Russians’ exclusion from the event, there were quite a few tennis players who felt very lost by this development.

One of them, and arguably the most damaged, was Nole, who defeated Nick Kyrgios in the final to win his 21st Grand Slam title but failed to significantly improve his position in the ATP table despite his excellent run.

After also winning the ATP Finals, Djokovic secured his return to the top five in the world rankings. But where would he have been if the 2,000 ATP Wimbledon points were being counted? He would be second only to Alkarath.

Big loser and Nick Kyrgios who is not currently ranked 10th but is outside the top 20. Stefanos Tsitsipas would also lose a position.
