Roger Federer and Serena Williams set to lose their world rankings after Wimbledon snubs

Tennis legends Roger Federer and Serena Williams are both reportedly set to disappear from the world rankings, following the decision to scrap ranking points at Wimbledon. The ATP and WTA's decision to make the event non-ranking came after SW19 bosses banned Russian and Belarusian players from competing amid the war with Ukraine.

The ban is set to have large implications for a number of the sport’s biggest names, including men’s world No 2 Daniil Medvedev and women’s world No 7 Aryna Sabalenka. Their ranking position is set to be safe though despite not taking part due to the points removal.
