The ATP released their rankings on July 4th and Novak Djokovic is now ranked first the world as he has ascended over Rafael Nadal.
Novak Djokovic, following his first career title at Wimbledon, is now the top ranked player in men's tennis as the Serb has a comfortable lead over Rafael Nadal for the time being in the race for top spot on the men's tour.
Here is the ATP's top ten ranked players as of July 4th, 2011.
1. Novak Djokovic: 13,285
2. Rafael Nadal: 11,270
3. Roger Federer: 9230
4. Andy Murray: 6855
5. Robin Soderling: 4325
6. David Ferrer: 4150
7. Gael Monfils: 2780
8. Mardy Fish: 2650
9. Tomas Berdych: 2470
10. Andy Roddick: 2110
Richard Gasquet, ranked 11th, is close to getting back into the top 10 as he has just five points less than Roddick. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, a semifinalist at Wimbledon, is also nearing contention for the top ten once again although he only has 1945 ranking points and some work ahead of him still.
The biggest jumper in the top 100 was Bernard Tomic as the 18 year old Australian came through qualifying and then made the quarters at Wimbledon. Those efforts have seen him jump up to 71st from 158th.
Feliciano Lopez is another player who did himself a favor at SW19 as he is up to 31st place thanks to his runs to the quarterfinals.
Yen-Hsun Lu is one of the biggest droppers as he made the quarters in 2010 and fell in the third round this season. Lleyton Hewitt also lost a lot of ground and he needs some wins just to get back near the top 100.
