Former world No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero's second title in as many weeks saw him move up six places to 16th in the world rankings.

The Spaniard, who dropped out of the top 100 last year, clinched the Copa Telmex in Buenos Aires on Sunday with a 5-7 6-4 6-3 victory over compatriot David Ferrer. He is now unbeaten in ten matches after his triumph at the Brasil Open the week before.

Sam Querrey's victory over compatriot John Isner in Memphis saw him move up nine places to 22nd, with Isner one ahead at No. 21, while Michael Llodra's fourth career title in Marseille saw him move 14 places up to 65.

Roger Federer maintains his status as the best in the world, and the top six remain unchanged, with Novak Djokovic in second ahead of Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Juan Carlos Ferrero and Nikolay Davydenko.

Robin Soderling moves into seventh ahead of Andy Roddick, while Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's semi-final defeat to Julien Benneteau at the Marseille Open sees him drop out of the top ten for the first time since April last year.

World Rankings: 1. Roger Federer (SUI), 2. Novak Djokovic (SRB), 3. Rafae Nadal (ESP), 4. Andy Murray (GBR), 5. Juan Martin del Potro (ARG), 6. Nikolay Davydenko (RUS), 7. Robin Soderling (SWE), 8. Andy Roddick (USA), 9. Marin Cilic (CRO), 10. Fernando Verdasco (ESP)
