World ranking: An 18-year-old passes Sinner

On Sunday a new star rose in the tennis sky in Miami. The highly talented Carlos Alcaraz, who is repeatedly touted as Nadal's successor in Spain, won through the Final victory against Casper Ruud his first Masters title . The 18-year-old thus gained 5 places in the world rankings and jumped from 16 to 11.

Jannik Sinner, on the other hand, had to lose another position and is now in 12th place. The US tournaments did not bring him any luck. Sinner had to give up in Indian Wells due to illness and the Puster native was also unable to finish the Miami Open. A blister on the sole of his foot bothered the 20-year-old so much that he had to withdraw from the quarter-finals. Now Sinner hopes to get fit in time for the Masters tournament in Monte Carlo (from April 9th).

Novak Djokovic remains at the top of the rankings. The Russian Daniil Medvedev missed his return to the top at the Masters in Miami. Medvedev then had an operation for a small hernia and now has to take a break for one to two months. The new third is Alexander Zverev, who passed the injured Rafael Nadal. New to the top ten is Briton Cameron Norrie in 10th place. Women: Swiatek new number 1 For women, Poland's Iga Swiatek is now officially the new number one in the tennis world rankings. The 20-year-old succeeds Australian Ashleigh Barty, who surprisingly announced her retirement from professional tennis. The former French Open winner Swiatek won the tournament in Miami last weekend and had already been announced as Barty's successor. The new men's world rankings Pos Name Country Age Points 1.
