SIGNIFICANT RANKING CHANGES FOR THE WEEK OF 06.25.2018
The mover of the week honors go to the Spaniard, Feliciano Lopez. Unfortunately it was not due to a positive result; Lopez lost in the quarterfinals to Nick Kyrgios, thereby failing to defend his title at the Queen’s Club. With plans to retire at the end of this season, Lopez no doubt would have loved to defend his title; however, he came up against the big serving Aussie and lost both sets in tiebreaks to lose the match. The Spaniard would love to go out on a high, as would probably any tennis player and he still has just about half of the season to make that a reality.
