Promotions and Demotions Following the 2015 Wimbledon Tournament

With two Yokozuna (=Grand Champions) playing the mens' final, all promotion and demotion decisions have already been taken. There are many more demotions than promotions, as all Yokozuna (who hold rank for life) bar Rafael Nadal and the mens' Ozeki (=Champions, i.e. Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka) did well - leaving little to gain for the other players.
