Firstpost  

Alcaraz’s first Indian Wells triumph – his third Masters 1000 title – will move him back to the top spot he held at the end of last year after his US Open triumph made him the youngest man ever to reach number one. United States: Daniil Medvedev, routed in straight sets by Carlos Alcaraz in the Indian Wells final, says the 19-year-old Spaniard has “100%” earned his return to number one in the world, despite the absence of Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz’s first Indian Wells triumph – his third Masters 1000 title – will move him back to the summit he held at the end of last year after his US Open triumph made him the youngest man ever to reach number one. 1 last year, so that’s something I haven’t done, so I’ll try, for sure, in my career.” Alcaraz, 19, made a late start to his season with injury forcing him to miss the Australian Open.
