The ATP and WTA’s decision not to award points at this Wimbledon due to the ban on participation of Russian and Belarusian tennis players caused a lot of controversy and affected on some, specially Djokovic!
The most damaged was our Novak Djokovic, who paradoxically won the title and fell from fourth to seventh place…
However, it would be very interesting to see what the ATP list would look like with the points awarded, so let’s take a look:
- Danil Medvedev – 7,775 (-)
- Rafael Nadal 6,885 (+720)
- Alexander Zverev 6,850 (-)
- Novak Djokovic 6,770 (+2,000)
- Stefanos Tsitsipas 5,240 (+90)
- Casper Ruud 5,095 (+45)
- Carlos Alcaraz 5,085 (+240)
- Cameron Norrie 3,875 (+720)
- Andrei Rublev – 3,700 (-170)
- Jannik Sinner 3,545 (+360)
And this is the current ATP list:
- Danil Medvedev – 7,775 (-180)
- Alexander Zverev 6,850 (-180)
- Rafael Nadal Spain 6.165 (-360)
- Stefanos Tsitsipas 5,150 (-)
- Casper Ruud 5,050 (-)
- Carlos Alcaraz 4.845 (-45)
- Novak Djokovic 4,770 (-2,000)
- Andrei Rublev – 3,700 (-170)
- Felix Auger-Aljasim 3.445 (-315)
- Jannik Sinner 3.185 (-)
So, the difference is clear and how much Djokovic was damaged by this decision. Especially if we consider that it will be difficult to play on the tour in America.
But let’s wait and officially whether the best Serbian tennis player will even be able to enter the USA without a vaccine…
