The rise to world No. 1 remains in the hands of Daniel Medvedev despite Novak Djokovic’s imminent return to the Dubai tournament.
Medvedev could become the 27th player to rise to world No. 1 and the first since 2016 when Andy Murray briefly broke Big 3 dominance.
However, everything will be judged in the week of February 21-26, with Medvedev playing in Acapulco while Djokovic will be in Dubai at the same time.
The possible scenarios
– Medvedev wins the title in Acapulco regardless of what Djokovic will do in Dubai.
– Medvedev reaches Acapulco final – Djokovic fails to win title in Dubai.
– Medvedev reaches Acapulco semifinals – Djokovic fails to reach Dubai final.
– Medvedev reaches quarterfinals of Acapulco – Djokovic fails to reach semifinals of Dubai.
– Medvedev reaches second round of Acapulco – Djokovic fails to reach Dubai semifinals
– Medvedev eliminated in Acapulco first round – Djokovic fails to reach Dubai quarterfinals.
We remind you that Novak Djokovic died on 21.2. will lose 2,000 points from his last year’s title at the Australian Open, held in February due to a pandemic.
If Medvedev succeeds and climbs to number one in the world, he will become the third Russian to do so, after Yevgeny Kafelnikov (1999) and Marat Safin (200-2001).
The last time world no.
