However, the US Open champion is not focusing on the rankings, with Murray saying: "Winning matches is my goal and by doing that the rankings take care of themselves.

"I could add extra tournaments to try to get to number two, but I want to stick to the schedule I've got and hopefully move up the rankings if I can."
