Murray climbs over 200 places as Djokovic stays top in ATP rankings

Scotsman Murray, who is on the comeback trail after career-saving hip surgery, reached the quarter-finals of the China Open where he lost to eventual winner Dominic Thiem.He can climb into the top 250 if he beats Juan Ignacio Londero later on Monday in the first round of the Shanghai Masters where Murray is a three-time champion.

Djokovic's win in Tokyo at the weekend means the Serb is at number one for the 271st week of his career, one more than Ivan Lendl and trailing only Roger Federer and Pete Sampras . Djokovic heads to Shanghai as defending champion while Nadal, his closest pursuer 1,140 points behind, has had to pull out with a wrist injury he picked up during last month's Laver Cup.

Serbia's Novak Djokovic celebrates with the trophy after winning the men's singles final against John Millman of Australia at the Japan Open tennis tournament in Tokyo on October 6, 2019. Thiem's victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas in Beijing sees the Austrian close to just 50 points behind the Russian Daniil Medvedev.3. Roger Federer 7,1307. Stefanos Tsitsipas 3,63011. Gael Monfils 2,37515. Borna Coric 2,130 19. Felix Auger-Aliassime 1,719
