Roger Federer will be looking for his third Grand Slam title of the year at the U.S. Open.
When the latest ATP rankings came out on Aug. 24, 2009, there was a new world number two player who was not named Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer. Scotland’s own Andy Murray was the first man to break the iron grip on the top rankings since Nadal took over the number two spot on July 25, 2005 – over four years ago.
Nadal held that number two spot for 160 weeks before he finally seized the number one ranking from Roger Federer. From Aug. 18, 2008 through July 5, 2009 the Spaniard held the crown of number one – eventually handing it back again to Federer, currently ranked in the top spot.
