Jannik Sinner reclaimed the world No 1 ranking by overpowering Carlos Alcaraz to win the Monte Carlo Masters final.
The 24-year-old Italian ground his way to a 7-6 (5) 6-3 win in difficult conditions as the top two players in men’s tennis met on clay for the first time since last year’s epic French Open final, which Alcaraz won in five sets.
