Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic went back to the top of the world rankings on Monday while Andy Murray slipped to No.10, his lowest place for six years.
The 27-year-old Serb replaced Rafael Nadal as the world's top player following his five-set triumph over Roger Federer in Sunday's final at the All England Club.
Australia's 19-year-old Nick Kyrgios, who knocked Nadal out in the fourth round at Wimbledon, climbs from 144 to 66 with Lleyton Hewitt No.43, Marinko Matosevic No.55 and Matthew Ebden No.78.
It was Djokovic's second Wimbledon and seventh grand slam title which also allowed him to book a place in the season-ending World Tour Finals in London.
After finishing 2013 with four straight titles, Djokovic extended his winning streak to 28 straight matches before a loss to Stan Wawrinka in the Australian Open quarter-finals.
He won three Masters titles this year -- at Indian Wells, Miami and Rome -- and came up just short in his bid for a career Grand Slam, when he finished runner-up to Nadal at the French Open.
Federer returns to No.3 in the world but Britain's Andy Murray, the deposed champion at Wimbledon, has slipped to No.10 from No.5, his lowest ranking since the eve of the 2008 Wimbledon tournament when he was at 11.
Entering the top 10 for the first time is Wimbledon semi-finalist Grigor Dimitrov who is No.9 and the first Bulgarian man to make the top bracket.
