Yesterday 14/2, ATP has just updated the World World single tennis rankings. Accordingly, although it has not returned to the competition after the scandal in Australia, Novak Djokovic is still holding the No. 1 position. He has 10875 points, more than the No. 2 position of Daniil Medvedev 1240 points.
According to statistics, this is the 360 week Djokovic standing at the top of the ATP rankings. He is the player who has the time to hold the No. 1 position in the world for the longest. The 2nd person on this list is Roger Federer (310 weeks).
In addition, Djokovic also established another memorable milestone. Accordingly, he is the only tennis player in history with 2 top ATP charts for 85 consecutive weeks. Previously, the Serbian star had 122 consecutive weeks holding this position between July 7, 2014 to November 6, 2016.
Despite this, Djokovic's No. 1 is seriously threatened. In the recent interview on the BBC, Nole confirmed that he had no intention of vaccinating Covid-19 vaccine and was ready to withdraw from the tournaments if he was asked to do this by BTC. This is an opportunity for Medvedev to rise.
At the end of February, Djokovic will officially return to play since the scandal in Australia. The tournament that the world's No. 1 player chose is Dubai Championship – ATP 500 in the UAE. Here, he does not need vaccinations can still participate in the competition.
