Rafael Nadal Reclaims No. 1 ATP Ranking

June 13 — French Open champion Rafael Nadal returned to No. 1 in the ATP rankings, reclaiming the top spot from Roger Federer 11 months after relinquishing it.

Nadal's fifth title at Roland Garros — a year after he was upset in the fourth round — gave him enough rankings points to move up from No. 2. He was ranked No. 1 for 46 weeks previously, but was overtaken by Federer in July 2009.

By getting bumped down to No. 2, Federer was left one week shy of tying Pete Sampras' career record of 286 total weeks at No. 1.

No. 3 Novak Djokovic, No. 4 Andy Murray and No. 5 Nikolay Davydenko stayed put from the previous rankings, while Andy Roddick moved up one spot to No. 7, and reigning U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro slid two notches to No. 8. He missed the French Open, sidelined by right wrist surgery.



Roger Federer DVDs carries complete match DVDs, such as his historic win in the 2009 Wimbledon tournament, in which he broke the record for most Grand Slam victories, or his classic win over Rafael Nadal in 2007, as well as many other major title wins.
