Novak čvrsto na vrhu nakon AO

The Spaniard had his calculations; he could have reached the first place if he achieved a better placement than Djoković, but he missed a great opportunity. Despite defending a whopping 2000 points, Novak will remain number one no matter what happens in the final stages of the tournament. It would have required Novak to exit the Australian Open earlier for him to reach the throne. Therefore, the king stays in his rightful place in the coming months, just to make the record for the most weeks at number one even “thicker”.
