MONACO (AP): Jannik Sinner beat defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 7-6 (5), 6-3 yesterday to win the Monte Carlo Masters for the first time and reclaim the No. 1 ranking from his biggest tennis rival. “The result is amazing,” Sinner said. “Getting back to No. 1 means a lot for me.” Four-time Grand Slam champion Sinner met seven-time major winner Alcaraz in their ninth final in what is often called the ‘Sincaraz’ rivalry.
