British tennis star Andy Murray breaks into world top 20
British tennis star Andy Murray has just broken into the top 20 in the world rankings for the first time in his professional career.
Scotland's Andy Murray, 19, who defeated world number one Roger Federer at the Cincinnati Masters last week, has gone up two places to 19th position in the list.
Andy Murray, who was defeated by Andy Roddick in the quarter-finals, reached the last four of the Toronto Masters last Saturday and Roddick's first title of the year puts him back into the top 10.
British number two Tim Henman has dropped three places to 62nd position while British number three Greg Rusedski has dropped 11 places to 138th.
Tim Henman, 31, who was beaten by Andy Murray for the second time in the space of a week in Cincinnati, believes Andy Murray's rise up the world tennis rankings is far from over yet.
"I can tell you that he's very talented and he's getting better all the time," said Tim Henman.
