The finals of all the finals are over, a match that was if not the best of the whole year, and without a doubt the match that most dressed this year.
This, the 56th duel between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, was more than a game. At the time when the two tennis players were supposed to take to the court, the victory would bring the Serbian the 18th Grand Slam trophy, the continuation of the series without defeat this season (not counting the disqualification from the US Open) and enter history as the first man to win twice. She was looking forward to “her tournament”.
On the other hand, Nadal chased the 20th Grand Slam title (the 13th in Paris!), The 100th jubilee victory at Roland Garros and the continuation of the perfect performance in the finals of this tournament.
However, even before the final, it was known that no matter how the match ended, the Serbian would increase his lead over the Spanish on the ATP list.
What will the ATP list be like from tomorrow?
Given the change in the scoring system, it was known that Rafa could not improve his performance this year, nor rather win or lose, in any case, they would give him 2,000 points as much as those guaranteed by the title that he won just over a year ago .
On the other hand, Djokovic was already in the black. First, let’s see what the ATP roster looked like before the tournament.
ATP list before Roland Garros 2020:
1. Novak Djokovic 11,260
2. Rafael Nadal 9,850
3. Dominik Tim 9,125
4. Roger Federer 6,630
5. Danil Medvedev 5,890
6. Stefanos Cicipas 5,385
7. Alexander Zverev 4,650
8. Mateo Beretini 3,030
9. Gael Monfils 2,860
10. Roberto Bautista Agut 2,665
Taking that into account, Novak had 720 guaranteed points before the tournament, as much as he won last year (they couldn’t be eliminated due to the qualification change), because he finished the competition last season at this stage of the competition with a loss to Dominic. Tim.
Djokovic thus improved his performance in relation to Nadal by 480 points (participation in the final contributes 1,200 points), so he will have 11,740 points in the ranking list as of Monday, while Rafa will remain at 9,850.
Unfortunately, the Serbian did not manage to do the feat that all the fans wanted in Paris, but he showed that he can play with Rafael on clay. He stayed on a Grand Slam title at this tournament, which he won in 2016.
