Nadal Drops to Lowest Ranking in over a Decade

After falling in the Roland Garros quarterfinals, Rafael Nadal dropped to No. 10 in the ATP’s rankings on Monday, his lowest ranking since he was world No. 11 on April 19, 2005. It will likely be as low as he goes because the Spaniard earned only 371 rankings points between the end of French Open and the end of the 2014 season.

ATP: See the Mercedes Cup Draw Here

The 29-year-old is currently in Stuttgart, where he will participate in this week’s Mercedes Cup on grass. The top seed, who will faces either Lukas Rosol or Marcos Baghdatis in the second round, says he did not watch Sunday’s French Open final.

“I did not watch the match. I was practicing,” he said, according to the ATP.

Rising to No. 4 on the back of his French Open title was Stan Wawrinka. The Swiss has a slim, 65-point lead over Kei Nishikori.

Other risers in this week’s ATP rankings include Jack Sock (+6 to 31), Viktor Troicki (+5 to 28) and Nick Kyrgios (+5 to 25).
