Andy Murray beat Ferrer to win Shanghai Masters

Andy Murray beat David Ferrer 7-5 6-4 in the final of the Shanghai Masters to move up to number three in the world rankings. 

Defending champion Murray moved ahead of Roger Federer in the standings after taking his fifth title of the year. The Scot has now won three tournaments in Asia this month alone. Federer has not been outside of the top three since before he landed the first of his 16 Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon in 2003. 

Murray had already won in Japan and Thailand in October and had to be at his best to see off Ferrer. He had a spell as world number two in the summer of 2009 but has never finished a year inside the top three. Murray said: "I'm still not guaranteed to finish at number three, I'm going to have to win some more matches. 

Congrats Andy!
