Daniil Medvedev's new reign as world No 1 will be short-lived after the Russian lost to Rafael Nadal for the second time in a month. Medvedev will end the Big Four's 18-year reign at the top spot of tennis when the rankings update on Monday but with Novak Djokovic set to be only 150 points behind, he will reclaim the top spot within two weeks.

Medvedev will become the first man outside of Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Murray to be world No 1 since February 1 2004 when the ATP publish the rankings on Monday.

The Russian had been locked in a battle with Djokovic this week for the top spot of the ranking with both players competing in ATP 500 events in Acapulco and Dubai respectively.

It was the 20-time Major champion's first tournament of the season and he suffered a shock quarter-final loss to Jiri Vesely on Thursday, handing the world No 1 ranking to Medvedev.
