Former men’s tennis world No 1 Roger Federer dropped a further four places in the latest ATP rankings on Monday to 15th, having exited the top 10 last week.

The 40-year-old Swiss is sidelined with a right knee injury and has not played since a humiliating straight sets quarterfinal defeat at the hands of Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz at Wimbledon on 7 July.

Whilst Federer falls there is a career-high ranking of 11 for Italy’s Jannik Sinner, who rises two spots on the back of his success in Antwerp on Sunday which was his fourth title of the season.

Novak Djokovic tops the rankings well clear of Russia’s Daniil Medvedev.
