20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer dropped out of the top 10 in the ATP rankings for the first time in almost five years on Monday after Hubert Hurkacz climbed two spots to replace him after his excellent Indian Wells performance. Hurkacz made it to the quarter-finals of the tournament when he was defeated 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 by Grigor Dimitrov. Meanwhile, the biggest gainer in the rankings was Indian Wells winner Cameron Norrie as he gained 11 places to increase his ranking to 15.
The Indian Wells result meant that Federer dropped outside the top 10 for the first time since January 2017 when he won the Australian Open. Meanwhile, the 40-year old Swiss maestro has not played in a competitive match owing to a right knee injury since his defeat to Hurkacz in the Wimbledon quarter-finals in July.
