Andy Murray is set to be named as the second best tennis player in the world when the latest rankings are announced.
The British number one secured his new position as world number two by beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the semi-finals of the Montreal Masters.
The win means he's got enough points to overtake Rafael Nadal when the new world rankings are confirmed on Monday.
Andy, who's already the highest-ranked Briton since the system was introduced in 1973, is currently number three.
The 22-year-old Scot is also the first man, other than Federer and Nadal, to hold the second spot since Lleyton Hewitt in 2005.

"To get past Rafa is incredible," he said. "Roger and Rafa have shared the one and two ranking for the last five years.
"They are so consistent and I didn't know if I was ever going to get there. Just one more to go now."
