ATP Rankings to be counted differently in 2021

Due to COVID-19, the ATP Rankings system changed already earlier this year, now we'll see a few more changes during 2021 season.

Novak Djokovic finished the 2020 season as year-end no. 1, and he will try to do the same also in 2021. But there will be a slight change in the way the rankings will be counted in the next season. A traditional 12-month ranking, which was later changed to 22-month best of ranking will be a 24-month best of ranking which will last until the 1st of March 2021.
