Nadal had slipped down to quantity two in spite of his 11th French Open luck after Federer, 36, took the Stuttgart Cup to bag the number 1 ranking for the sixth time in his profession and bask in a record 310th week on the summit.

But his Halle loss to Borna Coric price him no longer just a 99th profession title but his pole place as Nadal moved back above him by way of 50 issues because the countdown to Wimbledon nears its finish.

Coric's win lifted him 13 puts in the meantime to a career-high 21st.

Queen's Club champion Marin Cilic moved up a place to 5th after his win over Novak Djokovic, who moves back into the top 20.
