If Novak Djokovic is runner up in Hamburg does that mean he`ll be the new #2 ?

Question

Say Rafa`s foot is still not healed properly and he cant defend his points at hamburg (last year he was runner up) Anyway if Novak falls to Federer in the final does that still mean Novak will be #2! Obviously im speaking hypthetically lol i got a good feeling Rafa will do his best to win this tournament!!! Vamos Rafa I know he can do it !!!!!!!

Answer 1

you must check the atp points like how much they give for each round just google it

Answer 2

yes he does! hope nadal IS STILL no.2!

Answer 3

He will be if Rafa withdraws from the tournament or if he loses early(which can happen due to that stupid blister). Djokovic is 310 points behind Rafa, so if Rafa doesn't defend his points from last year(when he reached the final) and if Djokovic gains points by reaching the semifinals or better, Rafa will lose his ranking.

I don't think Djokovic will win or even be runner-up in Hamburg because he will be a bit tired from Rome.

Answer 4

If he wins the title he will be #2 no matter what Nadal's result is.Also if Nadal loses before SF and Novak reaches the final he will also become #2.This a great oportunity for Djokovic but I'm not sure if he can do his best due the fact he won the title in Rome.Maybe.As for me,I would like to see some changes in the top rankings.For the past 3 years all we get to see are R-Fed and R-Nad winning everything that can be won.It is good to see someone new in the game.
