Frenchman Richard Gasquet broke back into the top ten of the ATP rankings released on Monday while there were no other changes in the top 20 after Davis Cup competition dominated the weekend.

Gasquet, a former Wimbledon and US Open semi-finalist, swaps places with big serving Canadian Milos Raonic who drops to number 11.

Spaniard Rafael Nadal maintains a 2,050-point advantage over Serb Novak Djokovic at the top, while Roger Federer is now only 405 points behind compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka after the two men were forced to work hard to carry Switzerland into the Davis Cup semi-finals.

Scotland's Andy Murray remains eighth after losing his second singles match against Italy which cost Great Britain a place in the Davis Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1981.
