Because players started to play with bigger racquets and all of a sudden started hitting missiles in 2008 players like Hewitt and Roddick lost their footing on the top 100 and fell out of it.
Only when they upper their own level in a year like 2009 did they compete better. Then in 2010 the year just left them behind. Don't get me wrong they kept improving (peak Hewitt came at 2014 Brisbane for instance) and showed some good performances (2010 Miami for Roddick) but the level MurryGOAT, Nadal, Djokovic and Fedr, Ferrer, Tsonga, Berdych and even Mardy Fish showed from then on was just too much for them to handle.
