Novak Djokovic’s victory over Rafa Nadal in the Roland Garros semifinal makes him widen the gap with the Spaniard in the ranking . In addition, in the private face-to-face, the Serbian returns to take a slight advantage with 30 victories compared to 28 for the Spanish. On the other hand, Nadal could fall to fourth place in the ranking if Stefanos Tsitsipas wins the title in his first Grand Slam final.
Thanks to Novak Djokovic’s victory over Rafa Nadal , the Serbian widens the gap with the Spanish in the ranking , as he will not be able to defend the crown after having lost in the semifinals. The Serbian has managed to extend the distance with the Spaniard to 2,683 points, which may be even greater if he wins the title next Sunday. Nadal is currently ranked 3 in the ranking and this will be the position to take into account in the Wimbledon draw, so he could again meet Djokovic in a hypothetical semi-final.
At Wimbledon, Nadal defends the semi-finals reached in 2019, while Novak Djokovic is the defending champion after lifting two match points in the final to Roger Federer.
It could fall to number 4 of the ‘ranking’
Although it could also be the situation that Nadal falls to fourth place in the world if Stefanos Tsitsipas manages to win the title in his first Grand Slam final, which he agreed to after beating Alexander Zverev in five sets (6-3, 6-3 , 4-6, 4-6 and 6-2). In this case, the Greek would reach 8,780 points, surpassing the 8,630 points that the Spanish has at the moment.
