Tuesday, 07 June 2011 Staff Writer | Published in: Sport News

RAFAEL Nadal's successful defense of his French Open title means that he holds onto his world number one spot, but only by a handful of points from Novak Djokovic who lost in the semi-finals in Paris.

The Serb though looks certain to take over as the tennis season moves on to grass ahead of Wimbledon. Roger Federer, who lost to Nadal in Sunday's final at Roland Garros, stays at number three with Andy Murray consolidating his fourth-place ranking.
