Novak Djokovic falls out of the top 10 of the ATP men’s rankings, dropping from No. 5 to No. 12 in the latest update released on Monday. The change marks the first time since 2002 that none of the sport’s “Big Three” — Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Djokovic — are ranked in the top 10.
Both outlets note the long span since this situation last occurred, emphasizing how the Big Three have dominated men’s tennis for years. While the Yahoo Sports piece frames the development historically, the Inquirer.net report also connects it to a broader week of ranking shifts across tours, including the WTA. It states that Elena Rybakina is officially ranked No. 1 in the women’s standings.
The core differences are mainly in emphasis: Yahoo Sports focuses on the historic absence of the Big Three from the top 10, while Inquirer.net highlights Djokovic’s specific ranking drop and pairs it with the confirmation of Rybakina as WTA No. 1.
