Due to injury, Djokovic will have to skip this tournament, and here is what the Serbian will be hoping for to happen in order to stay in a position that would give him much better chances at the upcoming Grand Slams in Paris and London.

The current ranking shows that Novak is fourth on the ATP list and 610 points behind Felix Auger Aliassime, who is in fifth position.

At the previous Masters in Madrid, the Canadian was defeated in the second round by Juan Manuel Cerundolo, so he won only 30 points, which is the number he will defend this year.

The calculations are clear - in order for Novak Djokovic to remain in fourth place, Felix Auger Aliassime must not reach the final, because in that case he would receive 650 points.

Even better news concerns Alex de Minaur and Taylor Fritz, who would both need to win the title in Madrid in order to climb to the number 4 spot in the ATP ranking.
