Fall off.
Then I’ll be tied with Roger again — Mardy Fish (@MardyFish) March 16, 2020
They absolutely have to figure out something with the points. At least extend them somehow. This is out of the ATP’s control but a sensible solution is reachable.

From my point of view, it is a no-brainer. Points should freeze - this is not a mere one week off, this is a huge chunk of the season where some players have performed better than others.
Line is drawn when there's a huge inequality in terms of opportunities to defend points imo — Carlos Navarro (@TheMagician5GS) March 16, 2020
Just restart the rankings 2021. Everyone from scratch. — Peter Polansky (@PPolansky) March 16, 2020
