The 22-time Grand Slam tournament winner is still sidelined due to the aftermath of the muscle injury he sustained to his hip flexor and groin at the Australian Open. Since April 25, 2005, Nadal had consistently ranked in the top ten in the world – longer than any other professional without a break. His 19-year-old compatriot Carlos Alcaraz leads the ranking again after winning the tournament in Indian Wells on Sunday, ahead of the Serbian Australian Open winner Novak Djokovic.
