Novak Djokovic Extends Lead In ATP Rankings

Following his seventh Paris Masters at the weekend, Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic has extended his lead in the world ATP rankings over Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz on Monday.

The 36-year-old Djokovic won his 40th Masters 1000 title and stretched his winning run to 18 matches to top the rankings on 11,445 points with 20-year-old Alcaraz on 8,455 heading into the elite year-ending ATP finals in Turin next week.

Denmark’s Holger Rune dropped three places to tenth after losing to Djokovic, making him the loser of the week.

His slip allowed Casper Ruud of Norway to jump one spot to seventh, Germany’s Alexander Zverev to climb to eighth and American Taylor Fritz to move to ninth.
