Explanation
The ATP explains as follows: The 2,000 points he earned at the 2020 Australian Open will be replaced on January 31 with the 2,000 victory points he earned at the 2021 Australian Open. That means the Serb stays at 11,015 points. The second in the ranking, Daniil Medvedev, has 8,935 points and can no longer advance to the top even if he wins, for which there are 2,000 ATP points.
Djokovic will keep his points until February 21, when the changing of the guard could take place. February 21 was the Monday after the Australian Open of the previous year, which was only played in February due to Corona.
