If Novak Djokovic is the player in the top 10 who has played the least during this 2022 season due to his vaccination status, he is also the player who has had to face the greatest adversity in terms of classification.
Indeed, according to the statistics, the Serb faced on average players ranked around the 24the global place. This is more than a place better than the second in this ranking, Carlos Alcaraz (25.2) and more than two places better than Nick Kyrgios (26), who completes the podium.
Note that Rafael Nadal was rather spared in this area with opponents ranked on average around 28e world position (27.7 precisely).
We can also notice the appearance in fourth place of this adversity ranking of poor Luca Nardi (19 years old, 135e world), which has obviously never been spared regarding the draws on the main circuit with opponents ranked on average at 27e world place…
