Murray wins World Tour Finals
- Updated: November 20, 2016
A rejuvenated Andy Murray proved to be the dominant force on planet tennis by upsetting the odds to beat Novak Djokovic to win the World Tour Finals for the first time and end the year as world No 1.
In a fitting climax to the season, the top two players went head-on for the year-end world No 1, and it was Britain’s finest who stopped Djokovic from securing his fifth successive title at the O2 Arena with a stunning 6-3 6-4 victory. Murray’s victory in London also gave him his fifth title in a row following triumphs in Beijing, Shanghai, Vienna and Paris.
The Serbian, who was aiming to match Roger Federer’s record of six titles, had perfect preparation for the final, but Murray was simply unplayable as he shocked long-time rival Djokovic in the winner-takes-all shootout.
