Chance for Medvedev to dethrone Djokovic

 Chance for Medvedev to dethrone Djokovic


The Russian tennis player could rise to world number one later this month, ending Novak Djokovic's dominance.

Novak Djokovic's position at the top of the ATP rankings is seriously threatened in the second half of February. The Serbian is having a 360th week as the world number one, and will expand next week. However, Daniil Medvedev has a great opportunity to rise to the world No. 1 for the first time on February 28.


It all depends on what happens at the Dubai Open and Acapulco Open tennis tournaments, where Djokovic and Medvedev will compete with 500 bonus points for the champion.

Next week, Djokovic is still ranked No. 1 in the world with 8,875 points, after being deducted 2,000 points as the Australian Open champion 2021. He also cannot increase his score because he has to defend 500 points at the Dubai Open. as a champion.


Meanwhile, Medvedev has 8,435 points after being deducted 1,200 points for entering the final of the Australian Open 2021. He will be ranked No. 1 in the world if he wins Acapulco when he has 500 more points, bringing his total score to 8,935. At that time, Medvedev will become the third Russian male player to do this, after Yevgeny Kaflenikov and Marat Safin.


Medvedev can also rise to world No. 1 even without winning Acapulco. To do this, he needed to get to the final and Djokovic didn't win Dubai.


The player who has just turned 26 can also be number 1 when he reaches the semi-finals of Acapulco and Djokovic misses the final in Dubai, or Medvedev reaches the quarterfinals or second round of Acapulco and Djokovic loses in the quarterfinals. The last case is that Medvedev stopped in the first match and Djokovic did not reach the quarterfinals in Dubai.


If Medvedev rises to the top of the rankings, men's tennis will welcome a new No. 1 player for the first time since Andy Murray did in 2011. Medvedev also becomes the first player not in the Big 4 ( Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Murray) have led the rankings since 2004.


Two tournaments in Acapulco and Dubai next week will decide whether there is a change of keeper of the world men's tennis.
