Federer still No. 1
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - Rafael Nadal's epic victory over Roger Federer in the Wimbledon final allowed him to significantly narrow the gap at the top of the ATP rankings.
Federer remains at No. 1 for a record 232nd consecutive week, and Nadal stays at No. 2 for a record 155th week in a row.
But Federer's lead fell from 1,145 points - 6,900 to 5,755 - entering the grass-court Grand Slam tournament to 545 points - 6,600 to 6,055 - in Monday's new rankings.
