Andy Murray will finish 2016 on top of the world rankings after an imperious 6-3, 6-4 victory over Novak Djokovic clinched his first ATP Tour Finals title on Sunday. Murray had ended Djokovic's 122-week reign as world number one two weeks ago and his triumph in their winner-takes-all clash at London's O2 Arena stopped the Serb regaining pole position.

Soaking up the acclaim from a star-studded 17,000 sell out crowd including actors Jude Law, Kevin Spacey and Woody Harrelson, Murray said: "I'm very happy to win and to be world number one is very special. It's something I never expected.

"We've played Grand Slam finals before but it's very special playing against Novak in a match like this."


Djokovic added: "I played better late in the match but it wasn't enough.


"Andy is definitely number one in the world. He deserved to win. He is the best player."
