The Spaniard, who pulled out of his quarter-final with Andy Murray at the Australian Open due to a recurring knee injury, has not been ranked outside the top three since before his first French Open victory in 2005. Britain's Murray lost to Roger Federer in the Melbourne decider but his run to the final sees him climb a place to third.
Serbia's Novak Djokovic was beaten by Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the last eight but he moves up to second, 510 points ahead of Murray.
Croatia's Marin Cilic, who reached his first ever Grand Slam semi-final at Melbourne Park, makes the top 10 for the first time in his career.
