According to the latest ATP rankings, Djokovic has 9855 points which is 600 points more than Carlos Alcaraz (9255). Novak Djokovic had dropped almost 2000 points as the defending champion before this week.

Both of them met each other 6 times in their career. Although Djokovic leads the H2H with a 4-2 margin, the Italian has defeated the Serbian superstar 2 times in their last 3 meetings.

If Djokovic manages to lift the trophy in Melbourne, he’ll get ahead by a staggering 1800 points. Can Novak Djokovic extend his lead from the second-best at the end of this month?
