After the masterful triumph in Turin and the victory over Jannik Sinner in the final of the Masters, Novak has 11,245 points on the new ATP list, which means that his first place is safe until the Australian Open.
At the end of the season, the difference between Novak and Carlos Alcarasz is 2,390 points, and Danil Medvedev is in third place with 7,600.
