The ATP has reportedly frozen the tennis world rankings for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic, meaning Novak Djokovic’s corresponding weeks at the top of the rankings will not be counted.
The ATP has not yet officially made its decision but Djokovic will remain at 282 weeks as No.1 in the world rankings, according to a report by French newspaper L’Equipe.
In the all-time leader board, the Serbian is third behind Switzerland’s Roger Federer (310 weeks) and Pete Sampras of the United States (286).
The ATP published the last world rankings on March 16.
Tennis matches have been suspended at least until July 13 due to the coronavirus.
The ATP and WTA are working on what the world rankings should look like when the games can be resumed.
Ashleigh Barty is the women’s world No.1, with Ajla Tomljanovic (56) and Samantha Stosur (97) the other Australian women in the top 100.
Alex De Minaur is Australia’s highest ranked men’s player at No.26, with Nick Kyrgios (40), Jordan Thompson (64) and James Duckworth (83).
