Novak Djokovic will drop from No. 1 and Rafael Nadal will rise to No. 3, the first time since 2003 that none of the "Big Four" has topped the ATP rankings. Nadal defeated Djokovic on his way to a record 14th French Open title, which also extended his lead in the majors (22) over the Serb and Roger Federer (20). While the Grand Slam title race will mean a lot to Djokovic, the current No. 1 in the world will also lose his ranking when it gets updated on June 13. Djokovic drops to third place in the world, with Russian Daniel Medvedev in the first place. Al Medvedev was unable to play because the All England Club banned Russian and Belarusian athletes from Wimbledon. Earlier this year, Russia was number 1 in the world for three weeks, the third shortest time in ATP history. Medvedev had previously claimed that he was determined to make sure his next term would be longer. Before Djokovic lost the rankings, he would extend his time as the world's No. 1 to a record 373rd week. The Serb, who dropped points at the Australian and French Opens, is defending champion after a remarkable 2021. After Wimbledon, however, Djokovic could drop further in the rankings. Wimbledon unilaterally banned players from Russia and Belarus from this year's tournament in response to Vladimir Putin's Russian invasion of Ukraine.
