Medvedev is only 10 points closer to Djokovic, and the Serb on the ground in the next two months must defend 3,530 points, while the Russian defends only 790 points.

Djokovic won Roland Garros and the Belgrade Open last season, played in the final in Rome, the semifinals of the Serbian Open and the quarterfinals in Monte Carlo.

Medvedev did not have much success in that period, ie he can only boast of a quarterfinal at Roland Garros, in Madrid he was eliminated in the round of 16, while in Rome he was eliminated in the second round.
