Andy Murray is now ranked the 23rd best men's tennis player, in Britain.
The former world number one has dropped to 839 in the world rankings following injury problems.
The Scot slumped 690 places in Monday's rankings after he pulled out of Wimbledon.
Two-time Wimbledon champion said he withdrew with a "heavy heart" saying itwas "too soon" to play five-set matches after his comeback from hip surgery.
The 31-year-old made a return at Queen's last month after almost a year out, losing to Nick Kyrgios, then played at Eastbourne, where he was beaten by Kyle Edmund.
In a statement, the Scot said he was "looking forward" to the US hard-court season, which starts in August.
Murray, who won Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016, had been drawn against Frenchman Benoit Paire in the first round of Wimbledon.
Before Wimbledon, Murray had been ranked world number 156.
