Updated Nadal & Djokovic Year-End No. 1 Scenarios

Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are down to the wire in their battle to finish as year-end No. 1 in the ATP Rankings. Several scenarios are still in play that make it possible for both men to leave the Nitto ATP Finals with the top spot.

Djokovic has a must-win match on Thursday against Roger Federer. If he loses to the Swiss, Nadal will automatically clinch the year-end No. 1 spot for a fifth time. Nadal also has an important match of his own against Daniil Medvedev on Wednesday. After falling to defending champion Alexander Zverev on Monday, a win against the Russian is crucial if he hopes to advance out of Group Andre Agassi.
