After winning a seventh Paris Masters at the weekend Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic 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 is the loser of the week dropping three places to tenth after his quarter-final loss to Djokovic.
