The point difference is enormous. It's like asking when will WAWRINKA overtake Djokovic in the ranking? It's more likely never. :neutral:

The earliest is after RG. If Djokovic can gain 600 points more than what Nadal gains from now till RG then Djokovic will take back the number 1 spot. Highly unlikely and even if he does, it will be for a short period of time as Nadal will most like go deep at Wimbledon this year.

I think if he does gain it back, it will be sometime around USO.
 
nadal got quite a lot of point to defend, mostly from clay court.

if joker is to take back its prob around USO, but someone need to knock nadal's off the FO, which is unlikely

I hope Djokovic does reclaim#1. But his showing at A.O against Wawrinka is cause for concern. Just didn't have the mental toughness and confidence he needs.

I think he did good, it's just Stan was too good...

Yeah, his luck had to run out at some point. Murray had a BP on him at 5-5 in the 5th set in the 2012 SF, Nadal was a break in the 5th in 2012, Wawrinka had chances in the 5th set last year. 2011 was really the only year he dominated. He has survived some tough matches in the past 2 years and Stanley was the guy who put an end to that trend.

not before the US Open is my guess. I think nadal could make a long stretch as #1 for once, something like 1.5-2 years perhaps. I honestly don't see nadal failing during the clay season that much and djokovic taking over.

Nadal has a healthy lead over Nole....Nadal would need to get injured and take a sabbatical for Nole to take number one at this moment in time.

2015 I think Djokovic will try to charge to the top again.
