Previously, Rafael Nadal had a small chance of becoming World No.1. If Nadal had won the ATP Cup, Australian Open, and the Rotterdam Open, he would have passed Djokovic. But as Nadal didn’t play in the ATP Cup because of injury now Djokovic sees a clear path ahead to break the record.
As the ATP rankings have been frozen, no player will lose any points. Djokovic is defending the Australian Open title next week, and if loses early, he will not lose any points.
