Nadal drops out of the world’s top 100 for first time in 20 years

Rafael Nadal starts Australian Open defence with a battling win over Jack Draper

 

Rafael Nadal has dropped out of the world’s top 100 for the first time in 20 years as he continues to re-cover from the hip injury he suffered in January’s Australian Open.

The 22-time grand slam champion missed this year’s French Open, a tournament he has won a record 14 times, meaning he dropped the 2,000 ranking points he earned last season for winning at Roland-Garros.—APP
