This is how the ranking looks after the Alcaraz defeat and before Wimbledon: Djokovic returns to second place

ENext Monday, June 24, there will be a noticeable change on the ATP podium. Novak Djokovic will return to second place in the world rankings after the defeat of Carlos Alcaraz this Thursday in the round of 16 of the Queen’s Open 500.

The setback, however, should not affect the preparation of the 32 seeds for Wimbledon (July 1 to 14). Djokovic, who had surgery on the meniscus in his right knee, will miss it, so Carlitos will appear as the second favorite in the draw.

With Sinner in the final

In this way, he could only face Jannik Sinner in a hypothetical final. Alcaraz will not be able to score points in the big grass tournament as he is the current champion of the tournament.
