Alcaraz replaces Djokovic at No. 1 ahead of Wimbledon | Associated Press

CARLO Alcaraz replaced Novak Djokovic at No. 1 in the ATP rankings last Monday, meaning the 20-year-old Spaniard is expected to have the top seeding at Wimbledon.

Djokovic, who picked up his men’s-record 23rd Grand Slam title at the French Open this month, chose not to play any tune-up tournaments on grass ahead of Wimbledon and slid down one place. Swiatek remained at No. 1—as she has for every week since first climbing to that position in April 2022—last Monday, a little more than two weeks after she won the French Open for the third time. Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka kept her hold on No. 2, and defending Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina is at No. 3. Jessica Pegula moved up to No. 4, switching with No. 5 Caroline Garcia.

“I mean, Novak is the main favorite to win Wimbledon. That’s obvious,” Alcaraz said. “But I will try to play at this level, to have chances to beat him or make the final at Wimbledon.”
