The crazy thing is that Sandgren joked that "at least I get to keep my points" and I guess he was unaware that the ATP extended the period of protection until March 15th, 2021.
The FedEx ATP Rankings were adjusted in early summer from the traditional 12-month ranking to a Best of 22-month ranking with the goal of preserving the principles of merit, fairness and mobility despite the disruption caused by COVID-19. (The FedEx ATP Rankings were frozen from 16 March, just days after the Tour was suspended, until 24 August.)
In October, due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, ATP announced that it would move to a Best of 24-month ranking, extending the current ranking approach through and including the week of 1 March 2021. All events continue to be non-mandatory through this period.
In January, based on a revised calendar, the ATP Board approved a two-week extension of the ‘best of’ ranking system to the week of 15 March, 2021.
