Spain’s Rafael Nadal retained the top spot in the men’s ATP rankings in front of his old rival Roger Federer as Wimbledon kicks off on Monday.

However eight-time champion Federer is the favourite to win the tournament, which would see him oust Nadal for the World No.1 position.

German fourth seed Alexander Zverev, who has yet to get past the last 16 at the tournament, is in third position.
