There will be no drama in chasing Novak Djokovic’s insurmountable No. 1 ranking when London’s World Tour Final hands out its giant trophy to the best player in the world. The Serbian has already locked up most of the legacy-defining hardware in 2015 with three majors and four Masters 1000 titles.

Djokovic has piled up 165 career weeks in the top spot, and there is no end in sight for the moment. Next month, he will pass John McEnroe for fifth place with career weeks at No. 1.

The 28-year-old is all but guaranteed to celebrate his 200th week with the top ranking with a big fancy cake in the middle of the French Open while he bears down for the the one title slice he craves most.

In short, he will not lack for motivation as he storms deep into 2016 with the rest of the tour looking up, and he said as much to the Serbian media (h/t Tennis.com):

Except that it’s not that simple. The ATP computer never sleeps, and things can change with a few clicks of the keyboard.

In early 2016, there will be the Australian Open and the southern United States Masters 1000 titles, all of which he swept. Anything less and there could be a few thousand points off of his ranking heading into the clay...
