Trailing the Serbian world No. 1 are fierce rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer

PARIS, France – Novak Djokovic tightened his grip on the ATP tennis rankings Monday, May 13, following his win in the Madrid Open.

The Serbian world No. 1 widened his lead over Spaniard Rafael Nadal, who was dumped out of the Madrid tournament by young gun Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece in the semifinals.

Tsitsipas lost the final to Djokovic but eased two places up the rankings to 7th on the strength of his recent show of form.
