LONDON, Aug. 16 (UPI) -- Roger Federer regained the world No. 2 position, ending Novak Djokovic's six-week stay in the second spot of the men's tennis rankings.
Federer finished second to Andy Murray in the Rogers Cup tournament in Toronto Sunday but it was his win in Saturday's semifinals that caused the change near the top of the rankings. Federer defeated Djokovic in the semis, a result that flipped the rankings of the two players.
Rafael Nadal, the other Rogers Cup semifinalist, has a large lead for the No. 1 ranking two weeks before the start of the year's final major tournament. The U.S. Open begins Aug. 30.
Federer is 130 points ahead of Djokovic. Murray remained fourth after his Rogers Cup title defense. Robin Soderling is fifth, ahead of No. 6 Nikolay Davydenko and seventh-ranked Tomas Berdych.
Fernando Verdasco moved into the eighth place, switching places with Juan Martin del Potro, who has been sidelined with an injury but who could be back at the end of the month in an attempt to defend his U.S. Open championship.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is ranked 10th, 75 ranking points behind del Potro and only 30 ahead of 11th-ranked David Ferrer.
