Carlos Alcaraz returned to the top of the ATP ranking on Saturday after the victory in Indian Wells, while Rafael Nadal dropped out of the top 10 for the first time in 18 years.
Spanish teenager Alcaraz cruised past Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in Sunday’s final to reclaim top spot from Novak Djokovic who lost Indian Wells due to not being vaccinated against COVID-19.
American Taylor Fritz dropped five places to world number 10 after his title defense ended in the quarterfinals.
Nadal, injured since his second-round exit at the Australian Open, fell to 13th.
The 22-time Grand Slam champion has previously been in the top 10 since April 2005.
