Rafael Nadal’s hard-fought win in\u00a0Barcelona\u00a0at the weekend sees the Spaniard replacing Daniil Medvedev as world No. 2 behind Novak Djokovic in the ATP rankings released on Monday.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old Mallorcan, who won on Catalan clay for the 12th time in his career, is 110 points ahead of Medvedev.<\/p>\n

It was Nadal’s 61st title on clay, extending his record on the surface — the next most successful player on the surface is the Argentinian Guillermo Vilas who won 49 — and he will again start as favourite for the French Open which begins at Roland Garros on May 30.<\/p>\n

Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece, beaten in the final in\u00a0Barcelona\u00a0by Nadal after having a match point, remains in fifth, behind the Austrian Dominic Thiem.<\/p>\n

Spaniard Pablo Carreno is up to 12th at the expense of Belgian David Goffin while 19-year-old Italian Jannik Sinner, who lost to Tsitsipas in the semi-finals in\u00a0Barcelona, has climbed to 18th, the best ranking of his young career.<\/p>\n
