The victory saw the 20-year-old Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz move above Novak Djokovic in the rankings and confirmed the US Open 2022 champion as a serious challenger to the Serbian’s crown at Wimbledon. 

Rafael Nadal has been sidelined since January by an injured hip flexor and he slipped four spots to No. 13 on Monday, ending a stay in the top 10 that began in April 2005. 

This marks Novak Djokovic’s 374th week leading the ATP, adding to his record. He earned a 10th title at the Australian Open and tied Rafael Nadal with 22 Grand Slam trophies. 

Nadal has won both of this year's major titles so far, including the French Open and Australian Open, but his ranking is hurt by his lack of activity over the past 12 months.

Roger Federer admits earning the year-end world number one ranking is no longer a realistic ambition despite his remarkable renaissance this year. Federer is already certain to finish behind Rafael Nadal in the final rankings of 2017, but the world number two appears poised to push his old rival for top spot next year.

The 16-time Grand Slam champion, Rafael Nadal, is the oldest man to finish a season at the top of the rankings at the age of 31, after a year that saw him win the French and US Opens.

The Spaniard took over the ATP rankings summit last week for the first time since July 2014.

Murray`s triumph and Djokovic`s third-round loss means 4845 ATP ranking points now separate them for the top spot in  men's rankings.
