Novak Djokovic 's Roland Garros triumph has him at the top of the Atp Rankings for another week extending his previous record.
Some time ago Novak Djokovic became the player with most weeks spent at number one in tennis when he replaced Steffi Graf as the leader in that regard. He has been at the top of the rankings for 389 weeks now which is fairly close to 400 weeks and that pops on a page far better than 3xx. It's something he's been backed to do and so far it's looking good.
He's at the top today, ahead of Carlos Alcaraz and the rest of the field. He's not certain to be number one next week too, because the Spaniard can dethrone him if he pulls together an impressive run at Queen's Club and wins the trophy.
Number three behind them is Daniil Medvedev who sits in front of Casper Ruud...

‘s-Hertogenbosch, June 17 (Ians) Tallon Griekspoor rode a wave of home support to the championship match on Saturday at the Libema Open, the Dutchman surging ahead with an impressive 6-4, 7-5 semifinal win against Emil Ruusuvuori.
The sixth seed claimed a solitary break in each set to hold off the hard-hitting World No. 42 Ruusuvuori and reached his second Atp Tour final. Griekspoor broke the Finn’s serve in the opening game of the match and saved all four break points he faced from then on to wrap up an 89-minute triumph and advance to play Jordan Thompson for the trophy at the grass-court Atp 250.
Griekspoor’s victory ensured there would be a Dutchman in the ‘s-Hertogenbosch final for the second consecutive year. His countryman Tim van Rijthoven upset Daniil Medvedev to claim the title a year ago, and Griekspoor admitted that he has the opportunity to fulfil a long-held ambition when...

The 2023 Cinch Championships at the Queen's Club promises to be as exciting as ever and the draw plays a crucial role in that.
From June 19th to 25th, the players will try how it feels like competing in London before heading to the city for Wimbledon. Two-time defending champion is Matteo Berrettini and the Italian is back also in 2023 to defend his title.
But his comeback didn't start really well in Stuttgart , and Berrettini will want to forget that loss in a first-round match against Emil Ruusuvuori . Unfortunately for the Italian, quite early he may meet the first-seeded Carlos Alcaraz .
Similarly to the top seed in the Halle draw , the 20-year-old Spaniard will also start his journey against one of the qualifiers, with a possible second-round match against Jiri Lehecka or Alejandro Davidovich Fokina , who are both tricky opponents.
Frances Tiafoe , who is one match away from a Top 10 breakthrough...

‘s-Hertogenbosch (Netherlands), June 16 (Ians) Emil Ruusuvuori earned his first Atp Head to Head win in six tries against Jannik Sinner on Friday at the Libema Open to advance to his maiden grass-court semi-final, here.
The 24-year-old Finn did not lose a first-serve point (29/29) or face a breakpoint in a 6-3, 6-4 victory.
The victory improved Ruusuvuori to 8-6 on grass in his career, with his previous best result on the surface a quarter-final run last year as a qualifier at The Queen’s Club. Prior to this week in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, he had reached the quarter-finals at just one event this season across all surfaces: the Miami Atp Masters 1000 (l. to Sinner).
“It was a great performance overall. He’s a hell of a player,” Ruusuvuori said of his quarter-final win.
“Before this I’m 0-5 against him head-to-head. It’s always a difficult match to go after him, but I...

Milos Raonic is back and he really surprised with his performance in his first match at the 2023 Libema Open .
Without a doubt, the Canadian is one of the best grass-court players ever, reaching the 2016 Wimbledon final. Raonic's game suits the surface, but when he announced his return to the Atp Tour, no one expected him to be so competitive already in his first match.
Over the past few months, we've seen Dominic Thiem on the Atp Tour, but also the likes of Sofia Kenin on the Wta Tour, struggle to get back to the top form after injury struggles, so there were no big expectations tied to Raonic's return.
And early on in the first set, it looked like the Canadian may struggle against the fifth-seeded Miomir Kecmanovic . In his first two service games, he made five double faults, offering his opponent a total of five break points.
