Federer moves

back to No. 1

in rankings,

swapping
with Nadal

LONDON (AP) — Roger Fe-
derer is back at No. 1 in the
ATP rankings, once again
swapping spots with Rafael
Nadal.
Federer's title at the grass-
court tournament in Stutt-
gart, Germany, last week
pushed him up from No. 2
on Monday.
Nadal dropped down
from No. 1 after sitting out
last week following his 11th
French Open champion-
ship earlier in the month.
This is the fifth time the
top ranking has changed
hands between Federer
and Nadal. That's the most
switches at No. 1 in a single
season since there were
also five in 2003.
The record for most chang-
es at No. 1 is 10, set in 1983,
when John McEnroe,
Jimmy Connors and Ivan
Lendl all spent time there.
This is Federer's record-ex-
tending 310th week at No.
