Alcaraz back to world No.1, followed by Medvedev; Swiatek leads WTA

Carlos Alcaraz has regained his No.1 spot at the top of the ATP rankings on Monday, which means he will be first-seeded for the upcoming French open.

Russian Daniil Medvedev has climbed up to second after his Italian Open triumph, while Novak Djokovic has dropped down to third after his fourth round loss as the defending champion in Rome.

That opens the door for a potential semi-final clash between Alcaraz and Djokovic if the two are drawn in the same bracket.

Alcaraz will go into the French Open as top-seed for the first time in his career as far as grand-slam event is concerned.
