ATP Race Rankings: 13th July, Impact of Wimbledon

Now that the dust has settled from Wimbledon, the impact on the ATP Race can be fully assessed. As with all the Grand Slams, the high tariff of points available has led to some significant shifts in the standings, including a new entry into the Top 10.

With three of the four majors having been played out in 2015, the current lay of the land won’t be changing too dramatically by the end of November and the year end rankings. Attention will be moving towards earning a Top 8 finish and hence qualifying for the prestigious ATP World Tour Finals in London.

For a full run through of how the Race rankings are calculated and how they differ from the official ATP rankings, see here.

Race Rankings – 1 to 10

Place	Player	Nation	Points
1	Novak Djokovic	SRB	9585
2	Andy Murray	GBR	5700
3	Stan Wawrinka	SUI	4590
4	Roger Federer	CZE	4525
5	Tomas Berdych	ESP	3480
6	Kei Nishikori	SUI	2975
7	David Ferrer	JPN	2915
8	Rafael Nadal	ESP	2855
9	Richard Gasquet	FRA	1770
10	Milos Raonic	CAN	1720

Novak Djokovic has already built what looks to be an unassailable lead at the top of the standings. Only Andy Murray, who himself is having a fantastic year, has a outside chance of challenging for the year end number one spot.

It was a successful fortnight for Roger Federer, who despite falling short in the final, we look kindly on the 1,200 points that should keep him at the top of the ATP rankings for another year at least. The top four have extended quite a gap over the rest of the field, although unlike over the last decade, the members to not mirror the Big Four.

Instead, Rafael Nadal remains off the pace in 8th position, making no ground after going out early at Wimbledon. The second half of 2015 will be crucial for his hopes of improving his ranking, although the situation isn’t as dire as it seems. A few good Masters performances and a run in New York will return him to the Top 5.

Richard Gasquet is the only new entrant to the Top 10, benefitting from a tremendous run to the semi finals in London. Despite being 1,000 points off of the Top 8, the Frenchman will look to finish the year with the momentum he has picked up and achieve a career high ranking.
