Alcaraz dethrones record breaking Djokovic as new World No.1 as Nadal falls out of top 10 for first time since 2005 in updated ATP Rankings

Carlos Alcaraz is back to being number one in tennis after he defeated Daniil Medvedev in the Indian Wells final, starting the battle for number one again.

Alcaraz surprised many by dispatching Medvedev rather easily in the Indian Wells final beating him in two simple straight sets. The Russian had an active winning streak (19) so this defeat certainly was a bit too fast. It's not the only change in the top 10 as we had quite a few, more eventful than it generally is but it was a huge event so it's not a surprise.

Besides the Spaniard jumping over Djokovic for number one we saw Medvedev moving up to number five, Auger-Aliassime moving up to number 6, and Hurkacz to 9. Taylor Fritz failed to defend Indian Wells and he dropped to number 10. Rafael Nadal dropped four spots to number 13 and it's the first time he's been out of the top 10 since 2005.
