Novak Djokovic could not play the 'Sunshine Double,' staying away from the season's opening Masters 1000 events like in 2022. Thus, Novak had no points to protect in Indian Wells and Miami, and the pressure was on Carlos Alcaraz. The young gun failed to defend the Miami Open crown and 1000 ATP points claimed 12 months ago. Thus, he will lose the no. 1 spot to Djokovic after two weeks on Monday, sending the Serb toward his 381st world no. 1 week! Novak will start his eighth reign on the ATP throne, becoming the sixth player to achieve that and matching Rafael Nadal and Ivan Lendl. John McEnroe became world no. 1 14 times, followed by Pete Sampras (11) and Jimmy Connors.
Novak Djokovic will start his eighth world no. 1 reign on Monday.If Djokovic continues his world no. 1 battle with Alcaraz for the rest of the season, he will pass Nadal and Lendl and move closer to the top of the list. With 381 world no. 1 weeks and seven year-end no. 1 years, Novak owns the ranking records that will take some beating in the future, and he feels motivated to add more in the upcoming years. The Serb skipped six notable events due to his vaccination status in 2022 and missed 2000 ATP points for winning Wimbledon. However, Novak still finished the season in the top-5 and got himself in a position to chase the ATP throne at the start of 2023. Djokovic conquered Adelaide after fending off a match point against Sebastian Korda and wished for more at the Australian Open.
The Serb injured his left leg in Adelaide and did not look good at the start of his Australian Open campaign. However, Novak recovered and stormed over his opponents from the fourth round to advance into the title clash. Djokovic faced Stefanos Tsitsipas and scored a 6-3, 7-6, 7-6 victory in two hours and 56 minutes for his 22nd Major trophy and the seventh world no. 1 reign. Novak lost it to Alcaraz when a teenager claimed the Indian Wells title and will restore it after Miami. Thus, Djokovic will enter the Monte Carlo Masters as the top seed and fight for the ATP throne with Alcaraz if they both reach the final. Novak became the 25th world no. 1 player after Wimbledon 2011, staying competitive for over a decade and gathering almost every notable ranking record.
