Monday February 28, 2022. Tennis is experiencing a historic moment. Neither Roger Federer nor Rafael Nadal nor Novak Djokovic nor Andy Murray occupy the top spot in the ATP rankings.
Daniil Medvedev officially installed himself on the throne, becoming the 27e world number 1 in history.
The Russian breaks 18 years of hegemony of the Big 4. We had to go back to the beginning of February 2004 to find the trace of another player on the roof of this sport. It was Lleyton Hewitt, then dethroned by Roger Federer.
Medvedev peaks at 8615 points against 8465 for Novak Djokovic, forced to leave his place occupied for 87 weeks, without being able to really fight because his 2000 points lost from the Australian Open had already almost condemned him.
