ATP Rankings: The Eminent Shakeup of the top four Underway as NADAL Drops to 4th on the ATP World ranking

T
hirteen  times grand slam champion Rafael Nadal has fallen in the ATP ranking from the 3rd to the 4th  position . After   having enjoyed the luxury of the first three for so long, the Spanish Tennis icon slipped from the first trio for the first time since August 2013. His fall came as a result of his first loss at a semi-final on clay for the past 12 years to Italy’s Fabio Fognini at the ATP Rio Open- Brazil.
 Novak Djokovic retains his steely grip on the rankings ahead of Roger Federer.
With the king of clay slipping, the eminent shakeup of the first four on the ATP ranking could be underway with young and talented players proving their worth in the likes of Japanese international Kei Nishikori, Canadian born Milos Raonic and the young Grigor Dimitrov from Bulguria. It should be noted that for almost a decade now, the first four have been held by Swiss Maestro Roger Federer, Serbia’s Novak Djokovic , the king of Clay Rafael Nadal and Britain’s Andy Murray.

After some seasons with the Little Foot, the teenager moved to first division side Mt. Cameroon FC  Buea and then to Cyprus from which he moved to Ajax Cape Town in South Africa. It is in Cape Town that he began his professional career in 2006. After two seasons in the Soccer Premier League, in which he won the Cup in 2007 and the best player award in 2008, he moved to Ajax Amsterdam. He stayed for five seasons with the Dutch champions and played 124 matches winning 2 league titles (2011 and 2012) and one cup (2010). In 2013 he join the English Premier League side Fulham on loan after which he moved to Turkish side Antalyaspor. Since Saturday 30th August he has become the new number 21 of Standard Liege.
Eyong Enoh equally has 39 selections with the indomitable lions scoring two goals. With this rich professional career, Eyong Enoh stands as the most successful football player to have emanated from west of the Moungo.
