Apart from this data, the latest update of the ranking (March 1), does not reflect any significant change after the results seen a week ago at the Australian Open, where the Djokovic certified his 18th Grand Slam title, the ninth at Melbourne Park. Thus, the Balkan leads the classification with 12,030 points, far from Nadal's 9,850 and Medvedev's 9,735.
