    The Serbian star had fallen in the rankings after dropping out of the 2016 Wimbledon quarter-final -- remaining off the court of the rest of the year -- and had a rocky return in the 2018 season.

    But his magnificent run at the Wimbledon, which culminated on Sunday with him overpowering Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3) in a lopsided final, got him back among the top-10 ranked players.

    Anderson climbed three places to world No.5 thanks to his runner-up finish, while Switzerland's Roger Federer held on to world No.2 spot but lost ground to top-ranked Rafael Nadal of Spain after being defeated by the South African in the quarter-final.

    Nadal had lost to Djokovic in the last four clash.

    Both Marin Cilic of Croatia and Dominic Thiem of Austria dropped two spots, landing at world No.7 and No.9 respectively.
