Halep remains No 1 The top 10 remains unchanged, with Romania's Simona Halep on top ahead of Spain's Garbine Muguruza. Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova climbs three places to 18th after beating Daria Gavrilova in the Hong Kong Open final at the weekend.
Nadal retains top spot Meanwhile, Nadal remains well clear of Federer, but the Swiss maintains a chance of finishing the year as World No. 1 after shaving more than 400 points off his lead. Marin Cilic reaches his best ever ranking of fourth after his run to the semi-finals in Shanghai. Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka, whose seasons are both over due to injury, each slip a place.
