Djokovic Set to Regain No. 1 Rank

NEW DELHI: Novak Djokovic returned to the US Open spotlight on Monday night as the three-time champion took centre stage and reclaimed world No 1 over Carlos Alcaraz at the top of the men's rankings with his first-round win. The 36-year-old, who has spent 389 weeks atop the ATP world rankings, first earned the No. 1 ranking in 2011, one of a record seven seasons he's finished atop the tour. His longest stretch at No. 1 lasted 122 weeks; only Ivan Lendl (157 weeks) Jimmy Connors (160 weeks) and Roger Federer (237 weeks) have held the untoppled ranking uninterrupted for greater periods of time.
