World tennis surrendered to the Spaniards carlos alcaraz Y Raphael Nadal, He is number 1 and 2 respectively in the ATP rankings and opens the doors of history to write in gold ink a milestone that no country has reached in the last twenty-two years.

On August 7, 2000, Americans Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras were at the top of the world chart and have since To date, no one has recorded two tennis players of the same nationality in the first two places.

Since last Friday, when Norway’s Casper Ruud lost in the quarterfinals of the Seoul tournament, it was already known that this would happen, but it wasn’t until this Monday that the ATP made the event official.

Carlitos remained at the top of the podium and Rafa moved up a notch after the Norwegian lost 205 points.. Alcaraz has 6,740 points, compared to Nadal’s 5,810, while Ruud drops to third place with 5,645 points.

Another equally plausible case is: Alcaraz is being trained by Juan Carlos Ferrero and Nadal. Carlos Moya is the other two #1s in the world that Spanish tennis has.

The success is even greater if we add that the United States multiplies the number of player licenses with that of Spain by ten.

Alcaraz will play at the Nur-Sultan tournament in Astana this weekRuud will do it in Tokyo. Nadal, in principle, will not return to the circuits until the Masters 1000 at Paris-BercyFrom October 31 to November 6, although it all depends on your personal circumstances, because you are about to become a father for the first time.

Another change in the top 10 of the ATP is the entry to the last place of Pole Hubert Hurkacz before the fall of Italian Jannik Sinner.

Serbian Novak Djokovic Despite his victory in Tel Aviv and adding 250 points, he is in seventh place with 3,820 points.
