Medvedev would be the 27th # 1 since the computerized ranking (1973) and would interrupt a streak of 86 consecutive weeks at the top of Djokovic, which in total by that date would have moved his record to 361 weeks. Djokovic will also be in the race starting from February 21st, but in the other ‘500’ scheduled in the same week, that of Dubai, to which Jannik Sinner is also registered: even in the event of victory he could not avoid overtaking, always at provided that Medvedev raises the cup in Mexico.
