It’s the first time in a decade that Federer has fallen from the top four, and was brought on by his second-round loss at Wimbledon to Sergiy Stakhovsky.

The 2013 Wimbledon Championships will wrap up with a truly bizarre final, pitting 15th-seeded Marion Bartoli against No. 23 Sabine Lisicki on Saturday at the All England Club. Bartoli isn’t as much of a surprise considering her experience and appearance in the 2007 final, but Lisicki had to weather a difficult draw and beat top-ranked Serena Williams in the round of 16 to get to this point. An...
