Federer started at Wimbledon as the World No. 8. Although the Swiss star showed his class in the first few matches, he lost in stunning fashion to Polish upstart Hubert Hurkacz. While he remains doubtful for the Tokyo Olympics, Federer‘s sub-par Wimbledon performance saw him slip to #9 in the new ATP rankings.
After clinching the Australian Open and French Open titles earlier this year, Novak Djokovic completed step three of five towards a Golden Slam at Wimbledon. Despite losing the first set in yesterday’s final, the Serb came back to clinch a thrilling victory in four sets over first-time finalist Matteo Berrettini. Heading to the Tokyo Olympics, he strengthened his grip on his World No. 1 status.
