Former British number one Greg Rusedski has said that US Open champion Andy Murray has the potential to end 2012 at the top of the ATP rankings.
The 25-year-old is currently third in the world behind Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, having overtaken Rafael Nadal.
"It shows you what a champion he is and, having won [the US Open], he can go on to win many majors and maybe end the year as the world number one," Rusedski told Sky Sports News.
Murray beat Djokovic 7-6 7-5 2-6 3-6 6-2 in the final at Flushing Meadows yesterday to win the first Grand Slam title of his career.
