the Norwegian Casper Ruud has conquered a position in the ATP rankings published this Monday at the expense of the Greek Stephen Tsitsipas and continued to accompany the number 1, the Serbian, to the podium Novak Djokovicand at number 2, Carlos Alcarazwho will return to the field this week at the ATP 500 in Barcelona.
Ruud, who won his first tournament of the season eight days ago in Estoril, was knocked out in the round of 16 of the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 but is still close to the No. 2, which he held briefly in September.
Tsitsipas, winner in Monte Carlo in 2021 and 2022, dropped two places due to elimination in the quarterfinals. Another one who surpassed it was the Russian Daniel Medvedevwhich is only 15 points behind Ruud.
the Russian Andrei Rublevwinner of his first Masters 1000 on Sunday in the Principality after losing two finals in this category, he remains sixth, even if he comes close to fifth place, which he already held in 2021.
Finalist in Montecarlo, the Danish Holger Rune, who will turn 20 on April 29, moves up two positions and is seventh.
A curiosity? Rafael Nadal, who did not play in Monte Carlo nor will he play in Barcelona this week because he has not recovered from the injury suffered at the Australian Open, wins a place without playing and moves from 15th to 14th place.
The Argentines? Sebastián Báez has climbed two places and looks 30 to continue as the best Argentine, closely followed by Francisco Cerúndolo (32nd). The one who suffered a significant fall was Diego Schwartzman, who fell eleven steps and is 48th
