INDIAN WELLS, California: Carlos Alcaraz returned to No. 1 in the ATP rankings on Monday (Tuesday in Manila), replacing Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal dropped out of the Top 10 for the first time in 18 years.

Alcaraz rose one spot, swapping places with Djokovic, a day after ending Daniil Medvedev's 19-match winning streak by beating him in straight sets in the final at Indian Wells, California. Alcaraz, a 19-year-old from Spain who first ascended to No. 1 by winning the US Open in September, didn't drop a set in the hardcourt tournament.
