Reportase.one – Serbian tennis player, Novak Djokovic will return to the world number one ranking, Monday (3/4/2023), following Carlos Alcaraz’s defeat to Jannik Sinner in the semifinals of the Miami Open.
Alcaraz knocked Djokovic off the top spot two weeks ago when the Spaniard beat Daniil Medvedev to claim his third ATP Masters 1000 title at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
However, as quoted from the official ATP website, Monday (3/4/2023), the 19-year-old tennis player was unable to defend his title in Miami and failed to top the rankings.
