Djokovic Surges To First In Live Race, Ruud Climbs
Novak Djokovic and Casper Ruud have both made moves in the Pepperstone ATP Live Race To Turin after their deep runs at Roland Garros.
The Serbian Djokovic (4,745 points) has climbed two spots to first in the Live Race after capturing a record 23rd major title in the French capital on Sunday. The 36-year-old, who clinched a record-equalling sixth Nitto ATP Finals crown last November, heads to the grass season holding a 435-point advantage over second-placed Daniil Medvedev (4,310 points).
Earlier this season, Djokovic lifted his 10th Australian Open trophy and captured the title at an ATP 250 event in Adelaide.
