In terms of unintended consequences, Wimbledon's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players led to Russian Daniil Medvedev cementing his place as the new No. 1 man's world in what could be seen as a disturbing irony. It also speaks volumes about the complexity of the situation, which is expected to be one of the main talking points for the 2022 tournament, which kicks off Monday. On paper, the biggest losers are those who, like Djokovic, did well at Wimbledon last year and failed to defend the points won. Djokovic, a six-time All England Club champion, will be hit hard by the drop from the rankings as he is unable to maintain the 2,000 points he earned in his SW19 title win last year. That would put him in seventh place in the standings. The 20-time Grand Slam winner will be further behind Russia's Medvedev after losing his world rankings in the first two weeks of this year's tournament, taking only 180 points after the final match despite being banned to play 16 Departure in 2021. Matteo Berrettini, last year's runner-up in the men's, was another hard-hit player who hoped to better cope with the "unfair" decision that robbed Wimbledon of points. "It is one of the biggest decisions the ATP has made in the past 20 years. I want to do it differently," said Italy's number 11 in the world.
