After winning the French Open, Novak Djokovic was once again able to rise to rank 1 again. But the gap between him and Carlos Alcaraz is not big by any means. The two have beaten each other once and are preparing for a possible face-off in Wimbledon. Alcaraz is currently playing in the Queen Club Championships, while Djokovic seems to have no match on the horizon. However, the Djoker is not sitting idle as he will face the new number 10, Frances Tiafoe.
Frances Tiafoe has made great advancements in his career in recent years. Playing the Stuttgart Open after coming off of losses, Tiafoe did not want to repeat his mistakes. He overtook each player in the tournament and triumphed. This achievement was not only special for him for his third title but also because of his entry into the top 10.
