Rafael Nadal Overtakes Roger Federer as ATP No. 1 Tennis Ranking

Tennis Rafael Nadal was ranked the No. 1 player in men's tennis Monday, dethroning archrival Roger Federer from the top of the list.

Nadal won an Olympic gold medal in singles tennis on Sunday, just two days after Federer was upset by American James Blake in his quest to win his first Olympic gold medal.

Federer held the top spot for a record 237 consecutive weeks after becoming No. 1 on Feb. 2, 2004. Nadal was ranked No. 2 behind him for a record 160 weeks, since July 25, 2005.

Nadal defeated Federer in this year's French Open and Wimbledon finals. On Sunday, he defeated Fernando Gonzalez at the 2008 Olympics to win the gold medal, the first for Spain in the sport.

Nadal, who has won 38 of his past 39 matches, is the third Spaniard to hold the top spot in the men's rankings, joining Carlos Moya (1999) and Juan Carlos Ferrero (2003).

In the women's rankings, Serbia's Jelena Jankovic was supplanted as the world's No. 1 by fellow Serbian Ana Ivanovic after holding the position for just one week.

Ivanovic, who was No. 1 for nine weeks before Jankovic's brief reign, will retain top spot for at least three weeks.

Ivanovic, the 20-year-old French Open champion, pulled out of the Beijing Olympics last week with a right thumb injury. Jankovic lost to Russia's Dinara Safina in the quarterfinals.
