Andy Murray has moved up to number 3 in the world rankings with a victory today over Ferrer at the Shanghai Masters.
Ray-ray fought his way to a 7-5 6-4 win against the Spaniard who pushed Murray all the way in the first but after an early break in the second couldn't keep up with the Scots ever more impressive quality.
Murray is not guaranteed to finish the year in 3rd - his highest year-end ranking - but if he continues with this form I don't see The Fed coming back from injury and fatigue and claiming his place back. It's the first time Fed has been out of the top 3 since before his first Grand Slam win at Wimbledon 2003. That is an incredible run.
Of the top four, Ray-ray is definitely the on form player right now and the O2 Finals will be the perfect place to step up and prove to the world that he can beat the top players (Djoko, GoNads and The Fed) on the big stages.
Bring on November.
In RUGBY the All Blacks put on a brilliant display to crush Australia and advance to the World Cup finals. They won 20-6 and were a class above the Aussies throughout. They move a step closer to ending their 24 year wait to be World Champions.
In FOOTBALL Arsenal have finally won a game. They beat Sunderland 2-1 today thanks to a couple of beautiful goals from Robin Van Persie.
I'll keep you blogged...
