Andy Murray wins in Shanghai to move up to third in the World

Murray wins in Shanghai, becomes World no. 3

Andy Murray captured the Shanghai Masters and with it Roger Federer's third place in the World rankings after a two-set victory over Spain's David Ferrer.

The Scotsman won 7-5 6-4 to win his fifth title of the year - and his third Asian title in as many weeks - in what was a highly impressive performance.

Murray beat World number two Rafael Nadal in Japan last week to claim that title, having won in Bangok the week before.
