Spain’s Rafael Nadal on Monday regained the top spot in the men’s ATP rankings from old rival Roger Federer of Switzerland following the latter’s surprise final loss on the grass in Halle.
Nadal had slipped down to number two despite his 11th French Open success after the 36-year-old Federer clinched the Stuttgart Cup to bag the number one ranking for the sixth time in his career and bask in a record 310th week at the summit of world lawn tennis.
But his Halle loss to Borna Coric over the weekend cost him not only a 99th career title but his pole position as Nadal moved back above him by 50 points as the countdown to Wimbledon draws closer.
Coric’s win lifted him 13 places meanwhile to a career-high 21st while Queen’s Club champion, Marin Cilic moved up a spot to fifth after his win over Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, who also moves back into the top 20.
