2018 Miami Open March 19- April 01,2018 - Roger Federer To Lose No.1 Ranking After Shock Loss To Thanasi Kokkinakis Saturday March 24,2018

Roger Federer's latest reign atop the world rankings will end after the Swiss great's shock loss to Australian qualifier Thanasi Kokkinakis in the second round of the Miami Masters on Saturday March 24,2018

Kokkinakis, ranked 175th in the world, needed a wild card just to get into qualifying. But he showed nerves of steel in a 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7/4) triumph over 20-time Grand Slam champion Federer. "I was calmer than I thought," Kokkinakis said of the third-set tiebreaker. "Inside I was pretty happy, I was excited, but I kept pretty calm."
Roger Federer who won his 20th Grand Slam crown at the Australian Open, regained the number one spot in February 2018 after winning the ATP title in Rotterdam but needed to reach the quarter-finals to remain at the summit.
Instead he'll be replaced by Spain's Rafael Nadal when the rankings are released at the end of the tournament
