Paris: Swiss great Roger Federer has risen to fourth in the latest ATP rankings following his victory over Rafael Nadal in Sunday’s Miami Open final.

Federer climbs two places to fourth, while Nadal also moves up two places to fifth, but Japan’s Kei Nishikori slips three places to seventh.

Nishikori lost in the quarter-finals in Miami to Italy’s Fabio Fognini.

Meanwhile, in the WTA rankings, Britain’s Johanna Konta climbed into the top 10 on Monday, the highest place so far in the 25-year-old’s career coming after tournament wins in Sydney and Miami.

While Konta rises to seventh, her rival in the Miami final, Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki, a former number one, dropped down to 12th after the weekend 6-4, 6-3 loss.

German Angelique Kerber is still top of the rankings just ahead of the former long-term incumbent Serena Williams.
