In a season that’s seen him win his 19th Grand Slam title—and more impressively, his 12th career title at the French Open—Rafael Nadal is the world No. 1 again.
Our champ returns to World No.1 today for the 197th week in his career. He takes the top spot back from Novak Djokovic.

From his very first day at No. 1 (August 18, 2008) to Monday (November 4, 2019), it has been exactly eleven years and 77 days.
Rafa will battle for the status of year-end number one at the Nitto ATP Finals together with Djokovic. A player can earn a maximum of 1,500 points in London by posting an undefeated 5-0 record.
Rafa’s participation in the season-ending event still remains in doubt after he withdrew from his Paris semifinal with Denis Shapovalov due to an abdominal injury.
Congratulations Rafa. So proud of all you have achieved. Praying you will be well enough to play in year end tournament. Please though don’t go so hard at your practice sessions. You seem to get most of your injuries on the practice courts. Love you and your game so much. Tennis loses its appeal when you are not competing. Praying that you end year as number one.
Dear Rafa, I pray for you for the year end title. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Rafa’s team announced that the MRI results should be ready tomorrow [Tuesday] morning and a decision on Rafa’s participation in the WTF will be made.
