A achievement of 20 wins, 1 defeat of Rafael Nadal helped him return to the top 3 ATP rankings since the competition for a long time due to injury in 2021.
He won 3 titles in 2021, including Australian Open and surpassed the two player Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev on the rankings.
Nadal currently has 7,115 points on the rankings. He is 90 points more than Zverev 90 points and is 1,295 points behind the world second player Daniil Medvedev. However, the 35 -year -old player may be far from Zverev in the near future. He is expected to not attend Miami Masters, while the German player is the No. 2 seed of the tournament. If Zverev reached the 1/8 round, this athlete will regain the No. 3 position.
Meanwhile, Nadal will temporarily rest before returning to Monte Carlo Masters, the opening tournament for events taking place on the ground.
However, he is planning to retire. This player shared after the Indian Wells Master 1000 final: “All I can say is myself really difficult to breathe. My chest hurts and full of discomfort when breathing deeply. This is clearly not the time to talk about this but I need honesty.
I can't play regular tennis today. This is a final. I made efforts and then lost to a great opponent. ”
Novak Djokovic will maintain the world's No. 1 position after reclaiming Daniil Medvedev's hands in the past week. And the player who won the Indian Wells Taylor Fritz champion has risen to 13th in the world.
