Who can displace him after 4 April, Rafa?

He had the record secured, but after Nadal's match he is now certain to retain #1 EVEN IF THE POINTS DROPPED.
So basically no talk that he would have been surpassed by Nadal in case he lost early and Nadal won.

Awesome. This is a great point and glad you pointed it out. My only question is, can he reach around 330? That would put it out of reach for a very long time I think.

Nothing personal, but I don't want a shirt ripping guy who hurts lines personell and yell at ball boys watching over me.
I prefer God. He's my man.
Congrats to Novak on a superb achievement as a tennis player!

Why 330? You surely don't think Federer's got a chance of getting it back do you?!

Just thinking about the next dominant champ down the line. I want him to make it harder for them to catch it. Lol.

I think he'd already secured the record a while back, but the time is almost officially upon us now! The Age of Novak Djokovic as the top man
He'll be up there for a while I would imagine until a younger person is able to dethrone him (I don't think Nadal will do it anymore, chasing #1 is not his priority). This stint could probably last through towards the second half of the year. The biggest challenge is likely Medvedev, if and when he figures out how to scoop up a bag of points on clay.

The question is, will he get to 400? That will be a difficult one. 350 weeks at No. 1 is very likely.

I think he can reach 350. 400 I feel may be a bit out of reach.

His biggest threat for No 1 is now Medvedev, I believe.
Medvedev has been playing unbelievably for the last six months. If he continues to played well and does much better in the clay season and on Wimbledon, then he could be No. 1. However, Medvedev has almost 7,000 points to defend in the last third of a season and Djokovic only 2,700 so I think Djokovic probably wins number one.
Obviously that is easier if Djokovic wins the AO.

Agreed. Djokovic 350 weeks Vs Federer 310 weeks. Some Federer fans said in order to consider it a significant achievement, Djokovic will not just need to break the record but break it by a big margin. I think 40 weeks is a rather significant difference.

Actually I agree with them. I think if Djokovic finishes around 310-330 they are similar. 350+ he clearly sets himself apart.Agreed. Djokovic 350 weeks Vs Federer 310 weeks.

I expect when he is done, he will be at 400-450 weeks. He’s a lock for AO/Wimbledon for at least 2 more years, which should be enough for his 8th YE#1 and 400 weeks +

I saw a Sunny movie a few years ago. Ghatak. Have you seen it? A seriously bad @$$ movie, especially when he does those cage fights.

Machan ... if there's a Sunny Deol movie I haven't seen, it's because it has not been made yet
Yes, I really enjoyed watching ghatak It's a fact that many of his movies have utterly silly and ridiculous scenes but I just ignore logic and rational to simply enjoy the spectacle Are you Indian? If not, how come you watch Hindi movies

I think he will achieve in excess of 400, without a doubt.

Why? It can be even more if we don't have some Novak like 2011 miracle... It's so hard to be consistent in tennis... That why we have more slam winners than no1's...

Yea but that's like 1 year and 8 months. I don't think he can hold it that long since the gap is closing now and younger players are getting better, plus he's going to slow down.

He "just" has to be little more consistent than others... The gap is narrowing, but it's do hard for one player to be so consistent... Anyway, it's do hard to predict, but history learnt me that Novak consistent is great (now confirmed best ever)...
