Aug 13, 2018 | 9:57 AM

LONDON — Milos Raonic moved back into top spot in the Canadian men’s tennis rankings Monday after Denis Shapovalov fell six positions in the latest ATP World Tour list.

Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., held steady at No. 29 but became the national No. 1 for the first time since May as Shapovalov fell to No. 32.

Shapovalov, from Richmond Hill, Ont., reached the third round at the Rogers Cup but still dropped in the rankings after losing points gained from his run to the semifinals at last year’s tournament in Montreal. Raonic lost in the second round last week in Toronto.

Vasek Pospisil of Vancouver was the only other Canadian in the top 100 at No. 94 while Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime rose 13 positions to No. 120.

Rogers Cup champion Rafael Nadal of Spain retained his spot at No. 1 ahead of Switzerland’s Roger Federer. No. 3 Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina swapped places with No. 4 Alexander Zverev of Germany in the only change in the top five.
