By ATP Staff
Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz both have a shot at finishing the Australian Open as World No. 1, with a potential final between the top two seeds a certain winner-takes-all showdown.

As the defending champion, Djokovic will drop 2000 points when the Pepperstone ATP Rankings are released on the Monday after the Open concludes. Alcaraz, who missed the year’s first Grand Slam last year due to injury, has no points to defend.

So as he begins his quest for an 11th Australian Open title, Djokovic will hold a slender 200 point lead over the 20-year-old Spaniard in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings.

When the game's top two players squared off in the Wimbledon final last year, it was Alcaraz who needed to win to remain No. 1. He responded with a thrilling five-set win over the seven-time champion.

Djokovic has held World No. 1 for a record 407 weeks and since the beginning of last year's US Open, which was just one week after he saved a championship point to beat Alcaraz in an epic three-hour, 49 minute Cincinnati Open final.

Alcaraz, who first rose to No. 1 as a 19-year-old, has spent a total of 36 weeks in top spot, putting him in 16th place for most weeks at No. 1 among the 28 players who have held the honour.

Daniil Medvedev, who has spent 16 weeks at No. 1 during his career, has a chance of returning to No. 1 following the Australian Open. But he would need to win the title and not have either Djokovic or Alcaraz reach the semi-finals.

No. 23 Jiri Lehecka (Career High), +9
The Czech has risen nine spots to a career-high No. 23 after holding off Jack Draper in a hard-fought championship match in Adelaide. Lehecka also defeated seeded players Nicolas Jarry and Sebastian Korda en route to the trophy. He is the first Czech ATP Tour title winner since Jiri Vesely in Pune in 2020.

No. 26 Sebastian Korda, +3
The 26-year-old American delivered another strong run in Adelaide, where he held championship point before falling to Novak Djokovic in the 2023 final. Korda was unable to match that run this year as Lehecka proved too strong in the semi-finals, but he has nonetheless risen three spots to World No. 26.

No. 49 Alejandro Tabilo, +33 (Career High)
The first qualifier to win an ATP Tour trophy since 2021, Tabilo has surged into the Top 50 of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings for the first time after a dream run at the ASB Classic in Auckland. The Chilean dropped just one set across his six matches, including two in qualifying.

No. 55 Jack Draper, +7
Draper went one better than his semi-final run last year in Adelaide, reaching his second ATP Tour championship match after downing Sebastian Baez, Miomir Kecmanovic, top seed Tommy Paul and Alexander Bublik. Looking in good shape after an injury-blighted 2023, Draper has risen seven spots to No. 55.

No. 58 Taro Daniel, +16 (Career High)
Daniel’s run to his first ATP Tour final for six years has propelled the Japanese to a career-high No. 58. Daniel defeated top seed Ben Shelton in the last four in Auckland, where Tabilo prevented him from adding another trophy to the one he clinched in 2018 in Istanbul.
