It is almost guaranteed that he will have a massive lead in the ATP points race by the end of FO, and he has nothing to defend in Wimbledon. All he needs to do is perform decently (equivalent to what he had done in the early hard court season), and he is almost guaranteed to end the year with #1.
This is not a given. Despite getting probably the best start to 2017, he is
still at #5. His max point total from the clay season is 5500 and that's
probably not enough to get to #1. He generally wins everything between
April & June and nothing in the remainder of the year.
