Alcaraz suffered a disappointing third-round exit at the French Open but his short run was enough to reclaim the No. 1 ranking from Djokovic.Djokovic slipped to third in the rankings after Daniil Medvedev triumphed in Rome, coupled with the fact that the Serb himself lost to Holger Rune in the quarterfinals.This year's Roland Garros will be the first edition of the clay-court Major since 2004 that will not feature 14-time champion Rafael Nadal. Djokovic could surpass the King of Clay's Grand Slam tally (22) if he wins the tournament for the third time in his career.
