Serbian Novak Djokovic remains at the top of the ATP rankings, ahead of Russian Daniil Medvedev and German Alexander Zverev in the latest rankings issued on Monday. But the Russian can end the dominance of the Serbian, who broke the record by holding him for two years on the top of the world rankings, as of February 28, as Djokovic is scheduled to compete in the Dubai and Acapulco tournaments in Mexico in the same week (between the current 21 and 26). The Russian will take the lead if he wins the title regardless of Djokovic’s results, or if he reaches the final and the Serbian fails to win the Dubai title, or if he reaches the semi-finals and Djokovic is unable to reach the final of the UAE Tournament. He can also snatch first place if he reaches the quarter-finals in Acapulco and Djokovic fails to qualify for the semi-finals in Dubai, or if he exits from the second round of the Mexican tournament and Djokovic does not reach the semi-finals in Dubai, or if he leaves the first round in Acapulco and does not reach Serbian to the quarter-finals in Dubai.

In women’s, Australian Ashleigh Barty remained at the top of the standings, followed by Belarusian Arina Sabalenka, while Poland’s Iga Šviontik fell from fourth place to ninth place.
It was also remarkable the return of Tunisian Ons Jaber to the club of the first ten, following she had fallen a rank in the last classification due to her withdrawal from the Australian Open due to injury.
