Rankings on the 23rd of April 2012 ATP RANKING - Following his eighth victory in Monte-Carlo, Rafael Nadal put more points between himself and Roger Federer, who was busy practising for his clay-court season. Because of the shift in the calendar, to make space for the Olympic games, Nadal gained 500 points since last week, as last years Monte-Carlo points had expired last Monday when Nadal 9215 points. This time last year he won the ATP 500 in Barcelona so he lost 500 points, but scored 1000 for his eighth title in Monte-Carlo. Del Potro is back in the top 10 overtaking Isner that lost two places, sliding down to the 11th place. Also Fish overtook Isner, the two Americans have been trading places during the last months nearly every week. Simon reached the semifinal in Monte-Carlo and the points he gained allow him to jump ahead three spots to the 12th position. Also Dolgopolov returns to the top 20 of the ATP rankings after he played a good tournament in Monte-Carlo, losing to Djokovic in the third round. Nole still has a sizeable advantage over Nadal.
