Azarenka, Federer lead WTA and ATP rankings

Victoria Azarenka got her world No1 position back from Maria Sharapova, according to the new rankings provided by WTA. Due to his victory at Wimbledon, Roger Federer is now the 1-ranked player in the ATP Tour. The Swiss was world No1 for the last time in June 30, 2010, just a few days before the beginning of that year's Wimbledon Championships (which Nadal won). 

Here's the new rankings:

Wimbledon: Calendar and Battle for World Nº1

Roger Federer can reclaim the Nº1 ranking if he wins Wimbledon and Novak Djokovic doesn't advance beyond the semifinal. ATP World Tour created a table to show how tough the battle will get at Wimbledon for the top position in men's tennis.

If Djokovic makes it to the final, there is no chance for Federer or Nadal to regain the top spot. But if the Serbian only gets to the quarter-finals or the semis, Nadal and Federer could both retake the most-wanted position in the ATP ranking.

Wimbledon Championship begins next Monday, June 25. This is the tournament's calendar:
