Andy Murray Drops to #5

For the first time in almost 1.5 years, Britian’s Andy Murray is out of the ATP top 4 as his decision not to attempt to defend his Qatar Open title this past week in Doha saw him lose 250 ranking points and so slide down to #5 behind Argentina’s Juan Martin Del Potro who moves up to #4. With this movement, coupled with Delpo’s winning the US Open last year, means that officially the “men’s ATP big 4″ should now be Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Delpo (replacing Murray).
