Rafael Nadal Finishes No. 1, Ahead Of No. 2 Djokovic By 770 Ranking Points

by Staff | November 19th, 2013



 

The final 2013 rankings were released yesterday updated with the weekend’s Davis Cup results which included both of Novak Djokovic singles victories. Djokovic narrowed the gap slightly but Rafael Nadal still finishes 2013 with a sizable 770 point lead in the final ATP Rankings.

With Nadal having no points to defend in the month of January and Djokovic facing an Australian Open title defense, the Spaniard is assured of maintaining the No. 1 spot through the Australian swing and even into March.

Rafa will begin dropping points in February with 400 total points coming off from both Vina del Mar (150) and Sao Paulo (250), which still won’t be enough for the Dubai-defending Djokovic to pass.

South America has become the place to be this time of year, I guess. Last year it was Federer, this year it's Rafa and Novak. I bet Murray goes next year. He and Rafa playing exhibitions would be awesome.

it would be cool to see the big 4 involved in a clay exo. all four at the same time.

Hi all,

Generally speaking, I'm thinking the tour misses Murray, much as it missed Nadal, before his incredible return.  Hopefully he plays at the Australian Open.  I guess some of his preps will tell him for sure if he is ready to go.

Nadal has scheduled so many exhos and such.  I guess his knees must be in great shape after his triumphant 2013 season.  I only hope that we are not in for a repeat of 2008-2009.  It sort of smells like it to me.  But who knows?

The main story lines for me this year are:

1. Can Rafa pick up where he left off and how long will he be able to continue before something gives?  He is only one man.
Will he continue to play in hard court tournaments everywhere, or stick mostly to the clay? I hope after the Australian Open he either goes to South/Central America or takes a rest.  I don't want to see him in Rotterdam and Dubai.

2. How will Murray be after the surgery and the time off?  How much time will it take him to get back to his best form after 3.5 months out of action?

3. Will Spartan Stan continue to improve, or have we seen his best?

4. Which younger players will step up and start to consistently make it to the bigger tournament semis and finals? Dimitrov, Janowicz, Raonic, or someone else?  Pablo Carreño  improved from #654 to #65 last year.  Maybe we will see another jump up for him toward the top 30 where he can be seeded for majors?

5. How well will Federer do this year after his working vacation of last year?  Will his back hold up to the heavier schedule he has mentioned for this year? At which majors will be a significant factor (semis or better)?  Any?

6. Will Djokovic continue his consistent play of the last couple of years?  Will he be able to win a major outside of Australia this year?

7. Juan Martin Del Potro is #5 in the world, David Ferrer is #3.  Will they switch places this year? 

I'll give you my opinions after I hear what others have to say...

Respectfully,
masterclass
