The former number 1 in the world made his entry into the top ten on April 25, 2005 when he jumped from eleventh to seventh step and since then he has not left it until today.
The Spanish Rafael Nadal left the top ten of the world tennis ranking after 18 years uninterrupted stay. For his part, Carlos Alcaraz recovered number 1 with his consecration in the Indian Wells Masters 1000.
“Rafa” did not attend the first Masters 1000 of the season to recover his physique and arrive in better condition at the start of the season on clay, his specialty. So this Monday it was learned that he is in thirteenth place after resigning 600 points and falling four positions.
Alcaraz regained first place
By your side, Alcaraz displaced the Serbian Novak Djokovic and recovered the place he had reached last season after winning the US Open.
Djokovic was not in Indian Wells either because he did not have the vaccine against Covid-19 and Alcaraz needed to win the trophy to regain No. 1, something he achieved with a victory against Russian Daniil Medvedev, 6-3, 6-2, in the final.
Behind the Spaniard are Djokovic, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Casper Ruud, Medvedev, Felix Auger-Aliassime, Andrey Rublev, Holger Rune, Hubert Hurkacz and Taylor Fritz.
