Dominic Thiem and Roger Federer Slip in Rankings as Shapovalov Enters Top 10 After Wimbledon Championships 2021

With the Wimbledon Championships completed, the ATP rankings now have a fresh look. While some players excelled at the grass-court Grand Slam, Roger Federer made an unfortunate quarterfinal exit.

With the latest update to the ATP rankings, the Top 4 remain unchanged, while a familiar face broke back into the Top 10.

Roger Federer tethers on the edge of the Top 10 in new ATP Rankings

Federer started at Wimbledon as the World No. 8. Although the Swiss star showed his class in the first few matches, he lost in stunning fashion to Polish upstart Hubert Hurkacz. While he remains doubtful for the Tokyo Olympics, Federer‘s sub-par Wimbledon performance saw him slip to #9 in the new ATP rankings.

After clinching the Australian Open and French Open titles earlier this year, Novak Djokovic completed step three of five towards a Golden Slam at Wimbledon. Despite losing the first set in yesterday’s final, the Serb came back to clinch a thrilling victory in four sets over first-time finalist Matteo Berrettini. Heading to the Tokyo Olympics, he strengthened his grip on his World No. 1 status.

Although Daniil Medvedev exited Wimbledon in the Round of 16, he kept his #2 ranking. Rafael Nadal, who missed Wimbledon and will skip the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, remains third.

Despite French Open finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas suffering a shock first-round defeat to Frances Tiafoe in Round 1 at Wimbledon, he remains 4th, just 120 ranking points behind Nadal. Alexander Zverev took #5 from Dominic Thiem after the latter skipped Wimbledon due to a wrist injury.

Russian Andrey Rublev remains #7 while Wimbledon runner-up Berrettini jumped Federer to become the new World No. 8.

Denis Shapovalov returns to the Top 10 in the ATP Rankings

Shapovalov, seeded #10 at Wimbledon, had an excellent run to the semifinals at Wimbledon. Although he lost to Djokovic in the semifinal, the Canadian jumped two places to #10 in the ATP Rankings.

The Canadian replaced Roberto Bautista Agut in the Top 10 after he defeated him in the Round of 16 at Wimbledon. In fact, the Spaniard suffered the worst fate among the former Top 10 players, slipping four places to #14.

Outside the Top 10, Hurkacz gained a massive seven-place jump to take #11 in the rankings. In addition, Wimbledon quarterfinalist Felix Auger-Aliassime gained four places to become the new World No. 15.
