ATP Rankings 7 March 2016

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have maintained a stranglehold on the No. 1 and No. 2 rankings after they each guided their Davis Cup teams to victory following memorable five-set, five-hour heroics.

Meanwhile, in top 20 rankings movements this week, Dominic Thiem has continued his steady rise towards the top 10, climbing another spot to No. 13 at the expense of injured Canadian Milos Raonic. Thiem led Austria to a 4-1 Group 1 opening round win over Portugal this weekend, defeating both Gastao Elias and Joao Sousa in his singles matches, while also combing with veteran Alexander Peya to win a five-set doubles marathon. Raonic meanwhile missed Canada’s loss to France as he continues to recover from an injury sustained against Murray in the Australian Open semi-finals in January.

David Goffin meanwhile dropped two spots to No. 18 despite winning both of his singles matches as last year’s Davis Cup finalists Belgium crashed out in the first round to Croatia. Goffin posted superb victories over Borna Coric and Marin Cilic but it wasn’t enough for Belgium to advance to the quarter-finals, with Coric defeating Kimmer Coppejans in straight sets in the live fifth rubber to hand Croatia a 3-2 win.

The ATP Tour moves on to one of it’s busiest stretches of the season over the course of the next month, with back-to-back Masters 1000 events taking place in Indian Wells and Miami. Indian Wells begins later this week, with Novak Djokovic the defending champion.
