Dominic Thiem continues to lose ground in the world rankings. The new ranking was published on Monday. According to this, Austria’s tennis ace is only in 14th place. At the top, Paris winner Novak Djokovic has expanded his lead over his first rival Daniil Medvedev to 3,300 points. The new number three is Vienna winner Alexander Zverev for the first time since April 2019, who overtook Stefanos Tsitsipas despite the same number of points.
However, Dominic Thiem recently announced his comeback after his wrist injury. He will take part in the exhibition in Abu Dhabi as early as December.
Austria’s second best player Dennis Nowak is also slipping in the world rankings and is currently in 119th place. This means that his intended return to the top 100 is further a thing of the past. For women, the top 8, led by the Australian Ashleigh Barty, stayed the same, only Angelique Kerber finished her brief guest appearance in the top ten. Iga Swiatek (from 10 to 9) and Paula Badosa (from eleven to 10) are in this circle.
