No American in ATP top 10

London - No American player is in the top 10 for the first time since the men's tennis computer rankings began in 1973.

Andy Roddick dropped from No. 9 to No. 11 in the ATP rankings issued on Monday.

Roddick lost in the third round last week at the Legg Mason Tennis Classic in Washington.
