Marin Cilic made the biggest move among top players in this week's ATP rankings, rising from No. 37 to No. 29 after another strong tournament.

The 25-year-old made the final of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament, one week after winning the Zagreb Indoors. Cilic, a top-20 mainstay who peaked at No. 9 four years ago, slipped as low as No. 47 last year after serving a four-month doping ban.

In other rankings news:

• New No. 4 David Ferrer and No. 5 Juan Martin del Potro switched spots after Ferrer won the Copa Claro and Del Potro lost to Ernests Gulbis in the quarterfinals of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament.

• New No. 6 Tomas Berdych and No. 7 Andy Murray switched spots after Berdych won the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament and Murray lost to Cilic in the quarterfinals. This is Murray's lowest ranking since he was ninth in July 2008.
