Johannesburg: The ATP issued the latest men’s tennis rankings on Monday and the top 10 list remains unchanged with Serbian tennis ace still leading the rankings.
Djokovic tops the list with 12,150 points and has a huge advantage over long-time rivals Rafael Nadal on 8,665 and Roger Federer on 8,170.
Serena Williams maintained first place in the women’s tennis rankings while Li Na climbed into fifth in the WTA list issued on Monday despite retiring from the sport.
The US Open champion Williams commands the rankings with 9,430 points ahead of Simona Halep (6,160) and Petra Kvitova (5,926).
Li moved up one place into fifth owing to WTA arithmetics which take into account results over the past 52 weeks. The two-time grand slam winner and Chinese sports icon remains in the rankings although she quit tennis last week. AGENCIES
