Nadal defeated Novak Djokovic (for the 6th time at Roland Garros) and 4th time in a major final, thus retaining his hold on World #1 by not losing any points from last year, while Djokovic did not gain enough to overtake the Spaniard. The Serb is only 170 points behind Nadal, but Nole has championship final points to defend at Wimbledon while Nadal has barely nothing, so it is likely Nadal will remain at the top spot until at least August when Nadal has championship title and 2 Masters 1000 titles to defend.
