LONDON (AP) — Roger Federer's eighth Wimbledon title has pushed him back up to No. 3 in the ATP rankings after ending last season at No. 16. And, because Federer sat out the last half of 2016, his points will only continue to accumulate, making a return to No. 1 a real possibility. Garbine Muguruza's (GAHR'-been-yuh MOO'-guh-roo-sahz) first championship at the All England Club returned her to the WTA's top 10 at No. 5, a rise of 10 spots, while runner-up Venus Williams goes from No. 11 to No. 9.

Washington has converted just 22 of its 36 save chances this year, and wanted to solidify its bullpen as it looks ahead to October.
