Let \(p\) be a complex polynomial all of whose zeros lie in the closed unit disk. Concerning Sendov's conjecture, it is known that if a zero \(a\) of \(p\) lies ``sufficiently close to the unit circle, then the distance from \(a\) to the closest critical point is less than 1. In a previous paper, the author obtained an upper bound for the radius of the disk, centered at the origin, which contains all the critical points of \(p\). In the paper under review, the author improves the aforementioned upper bound and then estimates the range of the zero \(a\) such that the distance from \(a\) to the closest critical point is less than 1. This result implies that if a zero of \(p\) (\(\deg(p)=n\)), is close to the unit circle and all the critical points are far from the zero, then the polynomial \(p\) must be close to \(z^n-c\) with \(|c|=1\).
