Britain’s Andy Murray and Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, who ended their season couple weeks ago, fell out of the Top-10 at ATP, falling to 16th and 12th in the world tennis rankings.
Murray, who had a hip injury, had to withdraw from the US Open in early September, he claimed he didn’t play most likely by the end of the season. However, he should return to the courts on last Tuesday at a charity match in Glasgow, facing Switzerland’s Roger Federer.
As for the 30-year-old tennis player, who has been injured on one elbow and has not played since his retirement in the quarter-finals at Wimbeldon in July, he has come out of the Top-10 for the first time in ten years.
These demotions benefit the Spaniard Pablo Carreno, who climbs to 10th place and assures his replacement ticket for the Masters, while Stan Wawrinka at 7th is being forfeited.
This s a small consolation for the semifinalist of the US Open, who before Bercy, where he was beaten in the second round by Frenchman Nicolas Mahut, was in last qualifying position for London with a 9th place in the race.
Juan Martin Del Potro, private Masters after his quarterfinal lost in Paris against Isner, earned him six points at ATP ranking, reaching 11th place.
The winner of Bercy, the American Jack Sock, makes a nice recovery, gaining 13 ranks and entering the top 10. At the same time, he won his ticket for the Masters tournament.
The most spectacular gain goes to the French Julien Benneteau who wins 31 places, to climb to 52nd place worldwide. The 36-year-old veteran was unexpectedly able to reach the semi-finals for his last appearance at Bercy.
