Eventually, everything changed after Nole rehired his previous coaching team. The Serbian won the ATP500 at the Queen’s Club, Wimbledon, Cincinnati, and the Us Open.

3 reasons why Djokovic has a real shot at the world no.1 rank

After this fantastic run, Djokovic has a real shot at taking back his world no.1 rank for 3 reasons.

First, in the year to date rankings, Nole is only 1,135pts behind Rafael Nadal.

Second, Nadal is struggling with his knee.

Third, besides his physical conditions, the Spanish Legend is not used to have great runs during the last part of the season.

World no.1 by year end?
