Second Serve

 

Roger Federer might not have won Indian Wells on Sunday, but Monday morning found him back where most tennis fans usually envision him - in the top five in the world.

Federer's push to the finals over the last two weeks elevated him three slots in the latest ATP rankings to No. 5 as four players shifted spots. Two countries with a combined population of 55 million - Spain and Switzerland - currently combine for 80% of the world's top five male players.

Stateside, the bigger news came from the game's second-biggest man. Indian Wells semifinalist John Isner leaped three spots to No. 10 in the world, his first time in the Top 10 since Sept. 24, 2012. That's also the last time an American man was ranked in the Top 10.

Tomas Berdych slipped two spots from fifth to seventh, and Juan Martin Del Potro dropped from seventh to eighth. With the victory at Indian Wells, Novak Djokovic cut Rafael Nadal's overall points lead to 2,230.
