Nadal is still number one
With his big French Open win over Roger Federer, Spain’s Rafael Nadal managed to stay on top of the ATP rankings, ahead of Novak Djokovic. Prior to his semi-final match versus Federer, Djokovic had been riding a 43 match winning streak and looked destined for the world #1 spot by the end of the tournament. Trouble is that the old Roger Federer showed up and put Djokovic in his place. But Federer could not do the same to Nadal on Sunday. Had Federer won, Djokovic would indeed be number one this morning. Some think that it’s only a matter of time before the Serb gets to number one and that once there he will stay on top for a while. We’ll see about that. For now it’s Nadal – who many think has chance to be thought of as the best player ever.

1. (1) Rafael Nadal, Spain, 12,070 points
