Battle For World No. 2 Set To Intensify



Novak Djokovic will be looking to continue his sizzling start to the 2011 ATP World Tour season at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells this week.

The Serbian could replace his rival, Roger Federer, at No. 2 in the South African Airways 2011 ATP Rankings, by virtue of his performance at the first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournament of the year.

Djokovic, who reached a career-high No. 2 on 1 February 2010, could rank behind World No. 1 Rafael Nadal on 21 March through three different scenarios.

Djokovic will become World No. 2 if:

- He wins the Indian Wells tournament;
- He reaches the final and Federer loses before the title-match; or,
- He advances to the semi-finals and Federer loses before the quarter-finals.

Federer currently has 7,965 South African Airways 2011 ATP Rankings points compared to 7,800 points for Djokovic. At Indian Wells last year, Federer reached the third round (l. to Baghdatis) and earned 45 ranking points. Djokovic exited in the Last 16 (l. to Ljubicic) and won 90 points.

Djokovic, the 2008 titlist (d. Fish), must therefore win 211 more South African Airways 2011 ATP Rankings points than Federer if he is to regain World No. 2 after the Californian tournament.

The 23-year-old Djokovic is on a 14-match winning streak, including his second title at the Australian Open (d. Murray) in January and his third straight triumph at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships (d. Federer) nine days ago.

Since reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals (l. to Berdych) in July 2010, Djokovic has compiled a 42-8 match record.

By comparison, in the same period, Federer has a 49-6 mark. At Indian Wells, the Swiss superstar is 27-9 overall, which includes three straight titles in 2004 (d. Henman), 2005 (d. Hewitt) and 2006 (d. Blake).

Nadal Sees Djokovic As No. 1 Threat



Following his defeat to Novak Djokovic in the BNP Paribas Open final on Sunday, Rafael Nadal declared that the Serbian is “in the best position” to finish as the year-end World No. 1 in the South African Airways 2011 ATP Rankings.

Djokovic, who displaced Federer at No. 2 in the South African Airways 2011 ATP Rankings on Monday, has opened the season with an 18-0 match record, taking in titles at the Australian Open (d. Murray), Dubai (d. Federer) and Indian Wells.

“Nole starts with a big advantage right now, 3,000, almost 4,000 points, so that's a lot,” said Nadal. “That's a lot for [a] serious player like him. That's a lot for [a] complete player like him, because he can play really good on all the surfaces. He has a big advantage.

“I started the tournament 17th in the [year-to-date rankings]; I’m going to finish this tournament No. 6. That's a big improvement for me, very positive. I am closer to the top positions, and [Roger] Federer played a good semi-finals, a good result, too. He's there. He's like Nole. He can play really good on all the surfaces.”

The Spaniard currently holds the top spot in the South African Airways 2011 ATP Rankings and has opened up a lead of 3,920 points since re-assuming the position on 7 June 2010, after winning Roland Garros. However, he declared that for him it is the year-end rankings which carry the most significance.

“When I am talking about the No. 1 ranking, I'm talking about finishing [the year] No. 1, not being No. 1 during the season. Because [while] that's important, for me it's not the most important thing. If you finish the No. 1 of the year that's the most important thing.”

The Sony Ericsson Open begins on Wednesday, followed by a two-month clay-court swing with most of the top players beginning their build-up for Roland Garros at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters. It is a time of year that Nadal believes could be pivotal in the battle to finish the year No. 1

“After Roland Garros, I will tell you who is the biggest favourite to be No. 1, because [it] is after two months of competition,” said the Mallorcan, a five-time winner of the clay-court major. “Only thing I can tell you is Djokovic is in the best position. Right now he’s playing on his favourite surface, I think, because hard court, outdoor I think is when he plays better. It's his favourite surface. So he has confidence, he's playing well; he's a very good player. We will see what's going on in the clay season. After this, first six months of the season, we start to see what are the chances of everybody.”

While Nadal will be optimistic of closing the gap on Djokovic during his strongest stretch of the season, the Serbian is confident he can continue to improve on clay and challenge Nadal for the major trophies.

“I believe I can play well on that surface, and I have proven that in the past couple of years,” said Djokovic, a two-time semi-finalist at Roland Garros. [i] had a great clay-court season in 2009 and 2008; have always played well in Roland Garros.

“I am aware that, in order to win trophies on that surface, big ones, I will need to be physically very, very fit. Because as the slowest surface, it requires a lot of physical strength and endurance, and I have been working hard on it for a while. I will definitely pay attention to it more.”

Djokovic Embraces “Trivalry” In Battle For No. 1



Novak Djokovic believes the battle to finish as the year-end No. 1 in the South African Airways 2011 ATP Rankings will be a three-way contest between himself, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

The Serbian has opened the 2011 ATP World Tour season with a perfect 24-0 mark, taking in titles at the Australian Open, Dubai, Indian Wells and Miami, and believes he is well placed to stake a claim for the top spot with a strong showing in the upcoming clay-court season.

"I know I had the best start of the season, no question about it. It's [been] the best four months in my life. This is going to give me a big confidence boost for the upcoming clay-court season," said the 23 year old. "This streak is incredible that I have, and I want to keep on working hard and try to get more success. Then the clay courts come where I haven't had a lot of success [in the] past years. So maybe that's my chance to really try and get some success.

"If I want to have that shot, the No. 1 ranking, I need to play consistently well throughout the whole year," continued Djokovic. "We all know that clay is [Nadal’s] favourite surface, and obviously somewhere where he plays his best. Over the years, he's been the king of that surface and the guy to beat. He didn’t lose last year on clay. He comes up always with his best game on the clay court tournaments.

"I think I have the game to challenge him on that surface, and I showed that in 2009. I think we had some great matches in Monte Carlo, [in the] final; in Madrid, [in the] semi-finals, so it is possible."

Indeed, current World No. 1 Nadal believes that while his results on the clay could hold Djokovic off for a short spell, it is just a matter of time before the Serbian assumes the top ranking.

"I think he's going to be No. 1 [at some point]," said the Spaniard, who was beaten by Djokovic in the finals at Indian Wells and Miami. "He won two tournaments in a row right now, very big tournaments and one Grand Slam.  [The] normal thing is he will be No. 1 in the next month, month and a half, two months. I don't know. Depends on my results on clay. For sure he will be there. I am going to fight for me. If I am solid, if I play a very good clay-court season, we will see what's going on after."

Djokovic’s stellar performances this season have seen him usurp Federer at No. 2 in the South African Airways 2011 ATP Rankings, and despite the Swiss suffering a comprehensive defeat at the hands of Nadal in the Miami semi-finals, Djokovic expects him to continue challenging for the top honours.

"I don't think Roger is separated [from the top two]," said the Serbian of the 16-time Grand Slam winner. "He's still up there. It's obvious that he still wants to come back to be No. 1 in the world and he's hungry for more success. Of course he's not going to just pull back from that.

"He didn't have the best start to the season, but he was still in most of the tournaments semi-finals, finals. So he's definitely going to be one of the contenders for the top spot in the rankings at the end of the year.

"If you want to call it trivalry, whatever you want to call it, I don't know. I just try to focus on what I do. Of course Roger and Rafa are the two biggest rivals that I have, and of course there are many more players out there are able to play great tennis. We cannot forget about them. [Andy] Murray, [Robin] Soderling, [Andy] Roddick, the Spaniards."
