		</div><p>Andy Murray will return to world number two next week after Roger Federer was beaten by Dominic Thiem in the third round of the Internazionali BNL d&#8217;Italia in Rome.</p>
<p>Federer overtook Murray on Monday after the British number one narrowly failed to defend his Madrid Open title, losing to Novak Djokovic in the final.</p>
<p>But Federer knew he needed to at least match his final appearance at the Masters tournament 12 months ago to have a chance of preventing Murray taking the place straight back.</p>
<p>With neither man playing another event before the French Open in 10 days&#8217; time, Murray is now guaranteed to be seeded two at Roland Garros.</p>
<p>Federer missed Madrid with a back problem and expressed surprise at winning his opening match against Alexander Zverev in Rome on Wednesday.</p>
<p>But his lack of fitness caught up with him in his third-round encounter with 2016 form man Thiem, who triumphed 7-6 (7/2) 6-4.</p>
