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.

Murray will bank the champion's cheque worth £914,000 ($1.1 million, 1.06 million euros), but the financial reward pales in comparison to the sense of achievement that will accompany the tenacious Scot's 24th consecutive victory.

Ruining Djokovic's bid to return to the top caps an incredible year for Murray, who has won Wimbledon for the second time, claimed a second Olympic gold medal and become a father for the first time.
