Roger Federer - one of tennis's constants over the past quarter-century - is now without a single ATP ranking point to his name.

That means he is no longer included within the rankings system. He had said in June that he doesn’t plan to “play 20 tournaments a year” any more – but thrilled fans at Wimbledon Centre Court by telling them he intended to return there “one more time”. His ATP rankings point tally stands at zero for the first time in 25 years

Roger Federer has dropped out of the ATP rankings entirely for the first time in a quarter-century.

Shortly after that loss, Federer had his third operation on his right knee in a span of about 18 months. Djokovic's drop and that of runner-up Nick Kyrgios from No. 40 to No. 45 despite reaching the first Grand Slam final of his career are a result of the decisions by the WTA and ATP to not award any ranking points for Wimbledon in response to the All England Club's ban on athletes from Russia and Belarus over the war in Ukraine. Federer, who turns 41 on Aug. 8, intends to make his return to tournament play in his native Switzerland in October and said during an appearance at Centre Court last weekend that he hopes he can play at Wimbledon next year. Federer was 97th before play began at the All England Club but now has zero points because the rankings are based on a player's results over the previous 52 weeks — and he has not competed at all since reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals a year ago.
