Without playing the Californian tournament, the Serbian Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, recovered his throne of world N.1, which Daniil Medevedev had occupied since February 28, down one step after his elimination in the 3rd round of the American Masters 1000 .

On the third step, Rafael Nadal made his return to the Top 3, to the detriment of Alexander Zverev, who slipped to 4th place.

The Spaniard's defeat in the Indian Wells final was his first in 2022, after winning successively in Melbourne, the Australian Open and Acalpulco.

Semi-finalist against him in California, his young compatriot Carlos Alcaraz, 18, often heralded as the "future Nadal", for his part climbed four places, to 15th place, the best ranking of his career.

Also semi-finalist in California, eliminated by the future winner Taylor Fritz, Andrey Rublev, who evolves like Daniil Medvedev under neutral banner since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, gains a place, and goes up to the 6th world rank, one notch behind the best place he has ever held.

On the French side, Gaël Monfils, who beat Medvedev in Indian Wells, then eliminated by Carlos Alcaraz in the round of 16, gained five places and reached 23rd in the world.

Ugo Humbert slips to 46th in the world (-4), and Benoît Paire is back in the TOP 50 (49th, +4).

The only Frenchman with Monfils to have passed one round, and even two (eliminated by Jannik Sinner in the 3rd round) in California, Benjamin Bonzi gained 4 places, to 58th in the world.
