Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are still very kicking and alive in Wimbledon where once again are considered as the top favorites with Novak Djokovic.
Currently ranked no.3, the Swiss has the opportunity to get the world no.2 rank from Rafael Nadal at the end of Wimbledon.
Live Rankings. How Federer can become the world no.2
Roger “started” Wimbledon with 6,260 points (6620 minus the 360 he earned last year when he reached the quarters) while Rafa commenced with 7,405 points (7945-720). Currently, in the live rankings, Nadal has 7,225 points (7945-720+180) while Federer has 6,440 points (6620-360+180).
1st scenario
Federer can become the new world no.2 he reaches the final (7,460 points), and the Spaniard loses in the following round (7,405 points).
2nd scenario
Alternatively, Roger can be no.2 if the Swiss wins the tournament since Roger would have 8,260 pts while Rafa could not have more than 7,945 pts since in this scenario he would have lost to Roger in a hypothetical semifinal.
Next matches: Federer vs. Berrettini and Nadal vs. Sousa.
In the 4th round, Roger will face Matteo Berrettini for the first time in his career while Nadal will take on Joao Sousa strong of a 2-0 win-loss record.
