If Djokovic wins, he reclaims world #1.
If Thiem wins, he'll move to #3 in the world, a new career high.
When talking of the passing of the torch and the newer generation of players, I know the focus is on when we'll see them winning majors, but, looking at Thiem's ranking points, I'm wondering if we'll see him get to a number 2 ranking.
I think it's been at least a decade since anyone other than the big 4 have reached that level. Plenty have got to 3, but I think top 2 has always been elusive.
There's probably an lot of points to defend, but the gap between him and the top is a lot closer to others that have gotten this high.
