I'm just waiting for the official calculation announcement.
"It is now impossible for Djokovic to lose the number 1 spot before June 2023 and for Federer to drop out of top 10 before April 2026"
Interesting times.

Rafa #3 for RG confirmed.
He will win, but this makes things more interesting
Rafa fan's beloved slam H2H will be 11-6

Rafa missed out on going for his 12th MC & Barcelona titles, his 10th Rome title (played at the wrong time of the year when he wasn't match fit), his 5th USO title and his 6th Roger's Cup title.

More informations:
I don't like this decision, all points from IW 2019 and other tournaments from mentioned period should have ended in the rankings. Two years was enough.

I add:
"That means for example: A player will be able to count either 50% of his 2019 Madrid result, or 100% of his 2021 Madrid result, whichever is greater, for the next 52 weeks." (@Nikolaus Fink)

Didn't he advocate for a two year ranking system in the past? Hope he enjoys it now that we have some form of such system in place lol...

Yes Rafa advocated for 2 year ranking system but he wasn't thinking of a half active season.

This is stupid. Why are the covid rankings extending to August? Makes no sense.

Silly decision when the Tour schedule is now back to normal, Indian Wells aside. Shame it will take a while for all things to get back to what they used to be.
Fair point, but that is not Djokovic's fault. He is not No 1 because of the pandemic

Not really, that's 1130 points for Rafa saved until RG and around 1k points for Thiem. It helps against Medvedev for sure as it only guarantees him something like 300 points. Good thing that Novak got the #1 ranking record before all of this clowning started. Saved us a lot of what ifs with the AO win despite being hurt the most by protected rankings out of the current top 4.Rafa #3 for RG confirmed.

That's even worse. At least now it's reacting to last 12 months period. The only problem really was to make those 2019 events reach 52 weeks, so that weights would be as close as possible.

It's also keeping your boy at No 1.

The truth is Djokovic has never needed these measures and has won enough to be #1, but Federer actually needs these to remain in top 10. Big difference.

I don't like this.
Anyway, Djokovic validated his #1 spot with his results. I hope he can continue to do that.

We'll see. So far his results are better than anyone else's which reflects in non covid rankings where he leads the rest by a significant margin.
This makes no sense. Even with the usual 52 week system, Novak would still be at No.1. In fact, he has lost 22 weeks from his total tally when the rankings were frozen last year. You may root against him for whatever reasons, but at least get the math right.
No, he did not need the amended system in order to retain No.1. Even with the usual system, he would still have held the ranking.

And as Djokovic reaches 311 and beyond, watch the media falsely spin Djokovic as the one benefitting from all the ranking changes. All part of the corruption and propaganda.

lmao this is such a comedy of farcical proportions. They should have ended COVID rankings on the 1st of January. Makes sense for them to occur in 2020 but now? No way bruh.

Why the hell won't they just return 52 weeks ranking? Federer may be dropping out of ATP list without a single ranking point since he has not played over a year, but he would have protected ranking, so nevertheless he'd start tournaments as one of top 5 seeds or so. This is just insane.

at least he'd have to play more, which might strain him given his age
as for deserving, it's not like anyone on tour deserves the money and fame they get lol

Does this mean Federer keeps 50% of Miami points and 100% of IW points?
