Although Novak Djokovic was initially unaware of the rankings scenario, he knew that Medvedev was really “close” to becoming the new World No. 1 player. However, keeping that aside, the Serb stressed that the only “scenario” in his head right now is to “win every match” that he plays in Dubai.
However, when Djokovic was told that Medvedev could become the new No. 1 by winning the Acapulco Open irrespective of the Serb’s results in Dubai, he said he would be really happy for the Russian.

When asked about the players’ reaction to his vaccine saga in Melbourne and if some of them had burnt bridges with him, Djokovic revealed that most of the players have been “positive and welcoming.
However, he didn’t feel the same way in Australia, hinting that the players behaved in a “strange” manner there.
