Andy Murray knocks Novak Djokovic from world No 1 spot, without playing a matchDAN MULLAN/GETTY IMAGES Andy Murray has knocked Novak Djokovic from the top of world tennis' rankingsNew world number one Andy Murray was born a week before Novak Djokovic and won the pair's first junior tussle on the tennis court. Djokovic, who has 12 slams after beating Murray in the Australian and French Open finals this year, is fifth on the all-time list with 223 weeks. With the advancing years catching up on Nadal and Federer, Murray has hunted down Djokovic relentlessly. Number one looked like mission impossible for Murray but some cracks appeared in the Djokovic facade when he fell early at Wimbledon. While Djokovic's form since the French Open has fallen away, Murray's run since Roland Garros has been epic.
