Fall off. Then I’ll be tied with Roger again

They absolutely have to figure out something with the points. At least extend them somehow. This is out of the ATP’s control but a sensible solution is reachable.

From my point of view, it is a no-brainer. Points should freeze - this is not a mere one week off, this is a huge chunk of the season where some players have performed better than others. Line is drawn when there's a huge inequality in terms of opportunities to defend points imo

Just restart the rankings 2021. Everyone from scratch.
