British tennis maestro Andy Murray has reclaimed his second spot from Roger Federer in the latest ATP rankings after winning his maiden Italian Open title.

Meanwhile, Canada's Milos Raonic has moved up by a place to ninth, while Frenchman Richard Gasquet jumped two places to stand 10th.
Spain's David Ferrer slipped by three places to 12th place following his third-round exit in Rome at the hands of France's Lucas Pouille.
The top ten players in the latest rankings are as follows:
1. Novak Djokovic
2. Andy Murray
3. Roger Federer
4. Stan Wawrinka
5. Rafael Nadal
6. Kei Nishikori
7. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
8. Tomas Berdych
9. Milos Raonic
10. Richard Gasquet.
