Nadal slips to number four

Former world number one Rafael Nadal has slipped two places to fourth in the latest ATP world rankings, while Ireland's Louk Sorenson has jumped 71 places.

Nadal, who pulled out of his quarter-final with Andy Murray at the Australian Open due to injury, has not been ranked outside the top three since before his first French Open victory in 2005.

Sorenson became the first Irishman to win a grand slam match in 25 years when he defeated Yen-Hsun Lu in the first-round of the Australian Open.

That performance sees him move up to a career high 213.

Britain's Murray lost to Roger Federer in the Melbourne decider, but his run to the final sees him climb a place to third.

Serbia's Novak Djokovic was beaten by Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the last eight but he moves up to second, 510 points ahead of Murray.

Croatia's Marin Cilic, who reached his first ever Grand Slam semi-final at Melbourne Park, makes the top 10 for the first time in his career.
