Alcaraz rises to number 1 and Badosa returns to the ‘Top 30’

MADRID, 22 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz returns to number 1 in the ATP ranking after the tournament in Rome, which was won by Daniil Medvedev who is the new number 2 in the world, while the Catalan Paula Badosa returns to the ‘Top 30’ of the WTA ranking after gain six positions this week.

Alcaraz, who lost in the third round of the fifth ATP Masters 1,000 of the season against Fabian Marozsan in two sets (6-3 and 7-6), won 45 points for the ranking and regained the world number 1 for the loss of 820 units of Novak Djkovoci, who drops to third place.

The Serbian, eliminated in the quarterfinals by the Danish Holger Rune, loses two positions and is now behind Alcaraz -who returns to number 1 for the first time since last March- and Medvedev, whose victory in Rome , first on clay in his career, places him second.

There are no entries or exits in the ‘Top 10’, although Holger Rune wins sixth place to the detriment of Andrey Rublev. For his part, the injured Rafa Nadal, who will take a few more months to recover and will not play Roland Garros either (he will lose the crown), drops one place and is fifteenth, with Pablo Carreño 21st and Roberto Bautista 23rd.

In the WTA ranking, the Polish Iga Swiatek remains the world number one while the Kazakh Elena Rybakina, winner of the tournament in Rome, rises from sixth to fourth place.

The best Spanish tennis player continues to be Paula Badosa, who gains six places after reaching the quarterfinals in Rome and rises to 29th position, thus returning to the ‘Top 30’ but still far from the second position she reached in April last year.
