Federer Eyes Record 15th Grand Slam Title At Wimbledon; In Pursuit Of Regaining No. 1
10.06.2009
The battle for the No. 1 position in the South African Airways 2009 ATP Rankings is heating up and there could be a change at the top after Wimbledon.
Roger Federer collected his first Roland Garros title on June 7 to complete a career Grand Slam and equal Pete Sampras' all-time Grand Slam titles mark of 14. The Swiss superstar finds himself a Wimbledon title away from regaining No. 1, depending on Nadal's result.
Federer went into Roland Garros 4,490 points behind the Spaniard but after winning the title, he cut the margin to 2,070 points on 8 June. Both players withdrew from grass court tournaments in preparation for Wimbledon and will lose 450 points from their respective 2008 titles won in Halle (Federer) and Queen's (Nadal).
If Federer wins his sixth Wimbledon title and Nadal loses before the semi-finals, then the Swiss will regain No. 1 on July 6. World No. 3 Andy Murray could go to No. 2 by winning Wimbledon but no higher. Even if Murray wins Queen’s his points total won't change as it would replace the 250 that he won at Doha in January. His 0-point penalty from Indianapolis stays on for 12 months and will drop on July 20.
Here is a round-by-round points breakdown after Wimbledon (with the Djokovic points total based on him winning the Halle title. An adjustment will be made if he does not win the title):
