World number two Andy Murray has set his sights on overtaking Novak Djokovic at the top of the rankings after capturing his second Wimbledon crown on Sunday.

Murray, who reunited with coach Ivan Lendl last month, has reached the finals of his last five tournaments, winning in Rome and at Queen’s Club before beating Milos Raonic in straight sets to end a 36-month hunt for a third grand slam title.

Murray’s triumph and Djokovic’s third-round loss means 4,845 ATP ranking points now separate them.

“I would love to get to number one, for sure, and the way to do that is to show up every week and be focused on that event,” Murray said.

“It’s definitely a goal. It’s something I spoke to my team about.

“If I want to win a few other slams over the next few years, I am going to have to get better.”
