ATP World Rankings (previous week in brackets):

Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski have both slipped out of the world's top 10 to leave Britain without a player in tennis' elite for the first time in more than a year.

Henman crashed out of the top 10 in the latest rankings released today, following his second-round exit in last week's Stockholm Open.

The British number one falls two places to 12 while injured Rusedski drops a further two places to number 14 after tumbling from sixth to 12th last week.

Both players have come to the end of their seasons having failed to qualify for next week's ATP Tour World Championship in Hanover.

Britain have had at least one representative in the top 10 since October 12 1998 and both players will begin next season outside of the elite group.

Sweden's Thomas Enqvist rises to four on the list after his win in Stockholm.
