Renowned Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic has lost his leading position in the UTR rankings. Djokovic, now 36 years old, is widely recognized as the most outstanding player in the history of men’s tennis in the Open era, amassing an impressive record of 24 Grand Slam titles.
Djokovic had a rather disappointing performance at the recently concluded Australian Open, where he was eliminated after losing in the semifinals to Italian Jannik Sinner 6-1, 6-2, 6-7, 6-3.
After that defeat, Djokovic lost the first place in the UTR rankings, which he now occupies second. He has been surpassed by Sinner, who now holds the top spot.
Djokovic had previously been in favor of the UTR ranking, suggesting it is the best way to measure any player’s progress. “The UTR ranking is the best way to measure yourself against other players, regardless of their age or level,” he said at the time.
However, on the positive side, the evolution in the UTR ranking does not have any direct impact on the ATP rankings, in which he remains number one. It will be interesting to see if he can maintain that position for a long time, as he will not be participating in any tennis activities before Indiana Wells.
