Novak Djokovic continues to top the ATP world rankings. The new Wimbledon winner is almost 4,500 points ahead of Rafael Nadal. Third is Roger Federer, who would have overtaken Nadal with another triumph at the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world - the Swiss is now almost 500 points behind the Mallorcan.
"Best of the rest" is the Austrian Dominic Thiem. The 25-year-old, who failed in the first round at Sam Querrey in Wimbledon, currently ranks ahead of the German Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas. Federer is almost 3,000 points behind.
Djokovic and Nadal at ATP finals
With Karen Khachanov, Fabio Fognini and Daniil Medvedev, three players in the top ten of the ranking can also celebrate their best career placement. Wimbledon semi-finalist Roberto Bautista Agut improved by nine positions to 13th.
The Race to London shows a similar picture as in the world rankings. Novak Djokovic leads ahead of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. With their good results in Wimbledon, both the Serb and the Spaniard were able to clear the qualification for the ATP finals early on. Dominic Thiem is fourth in the race, Alexander Zverev in tenth.
