Novak Djokovic, a tennis legend, is just one week away from matching Steffi Graf’s all-time mark of 377 weeks at the top of the rankings.

The 35-year-old Serbian is still ranked first in the most recent ATP rankings, which put him on par with the number of weeks Graf held the top spot for women.

After winning the Australian Open at the end of January—his record-tying 22nd Grand Slam singles title—Djokovic reclaimed the top spot for a seventh time.

At the weekend, Daniil Medvedev won the Rotterdam race, and Carlos Alcaraz made a successful comeback to the circuit in Argentina. Both former world champions had success.

Medvedev returns to the top 10 after defeating Italian Jannik Sinner in three sets to win his 16th career title. He moves up three spots to eighth.

The consolation prize for the losing finalist is a two-place rise to 12th place in the rankings.

Alcaraz successfully completed his comeback to the tour on Sunday by winning the Argentina Open, solidifying his position in second place.

The third-place finisher is Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece, whom Djokovic defeated in the Australian Open final.

Alexander Zverev, a former world number two from Germany, has halted a decline in his standing since making a comeback following ankle ligament damage sustained at the 2017 French Open that kept him out of action for the rest of the season.

The 25-year-old, who also disclosed after losing in the second round of the Australian Open that he has had type 1 diabetes since he was three, moved up one spot to 16th after making it that far in Rotterdam.
