French Open champion Rafael Nadal moved up two spots to No. 2 in the ATP rankings on Monday, his highest placing since October 2014. Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, slid from No. 2 to No. 4 in


the new rankings, his lowest status in 7½ years. He lost in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros, where he won the title a year ago to complete a career Grand Slam. That was also his fourth


consecutive major championship, but he failed to defend any of those titles. Andy Murray retained his No. 1 ranking after a semifinal exit in Paris, while Stan Wawrinka stayed at No. 3 after


losing to Nadal 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 in Sunday's final. Roger Federer is still No. 5 after missing the French Open for the second year in a row.
