Rafael Nadal Now Ranks No. 2 In The 2016 ATP Points Race
Thanks to a perfect April during which he won back-to-back titles at Monte Carlo and Barcelona, Rafael Nadal has seen his 2016 ATP points race ranking rise from No. 14 to No. 2 this week!
Now “just” 2,050 points behind leader Novak Djokovic, Nadal could match the Serb before the French Open and pass him in Paris. That’s if Djokovic were to lose early at all three events while Nadal continues his clay streak, which is now at 10.
Milos Raonic and Andy Murray both move down a spot to make room for Rafa. Kei Nishikori moved up to No. 5.
Roger Federer, who remains undecided about his upcoming clay schedule, ranks 11th on the list.
Nadal, though, remains ranked No. 5 which, if it holds, would put him potentially against Djokovic in the French Open quarterfinals.
