| by Nurein Ahmed

Novak Djokovic's spot as World No. 1 is not in immediate danger, with Serb recording a 412th week in that position.

Djokovic has not been in action since surrendering his Australian Open crown in the semifinal stage last month and remains with 9,855 points. He did not feature in Serbia's Davis Cup qualifying tie against Slovakia and has seemingly decided to skip all tournaments in February.

Although his rivals can slightly bridge the gap, it is impossible for him to relinquish the No. 1 spot this month. That means Carlos Alcaraz, who is in second place, must defend 550 points during the Golden Swing to avoid losing further ground.

Daniil Medvedev sits in third position, although he could be overtaken by Jannik Sinner by the end of the week should the Italian triumph at the Rotterdam Open. There are no entrants into the world's Top 10 this week.
