Rafael Nadal fell out of the top 100 in the latest ATP rankings, but Novak Djokovic returned to the top spot after winning a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam victory.

After winning the French Open, Djokovic, 36, moved up two spots in the rankings, marking his 388th week as the top player in the world.

In the semifinal match, he defeated 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, who had previously held the top ranking up until the French Open.

Daniil Medvedev of Russia, who lost in the first round of Roland Garros, slipped a spot as well. Casper Ruud of Norway, who lost in the final, is in fourth place, 40 points ahead of Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece.

Nadal, who has won the French Open 14 times, nevertheless, paid the price for his absence by falling 121 spots to 136th in the rankings due to a chronic hip problem.
