Murray spoke to Marcus Buckland, Annabel Croft and Greg Rusedski after beating Djokovic in the final Expert opinionGreg Rusedski: Unbelievable. What a performance, 24 matches in a row, against the world No 2, finding a way to get it done. Physically, he must have been hurting from the first ball to the last ball.

An extraordinary effort Andy Murray outclassed and outfought rival Novak Djokovic, says Barry Cowan Peter Fleming: As ever, Novak Djokovic, one of the great sportsmen in defeat.

Djokovic: Let Andy enjoy this Novak Djokovic says Andy Murray should be left to enjoy No 1 spot Match reportMurray had not played Djokovic since losing the French Open final in June, his 24th defeat in 34 meetings with his former junior rival.Djokovic, who came into the tournament on his worst run of form for several years, certainly appeared to have the spark back after demolishing Kei Nishikori in the semi-finals on Saturday. Did you know... Murray has broken serve in all 87 singles matches hes played this year. Murray, who provided his home crowdd with another trademark tennis epic, spending three hours and 38 minutes quelling the ferocious firepower of Milos Raonic, somehow recovered to walk out to a fever-pitch atmosphere at the O2 Arena.dddddddddddd The 12-time major winner showed his is only human after this badly mistimed smash He made a composed start too, looking comfortable on serve and driving his opponent back behind the baseline. The steely Serb was forced to repel Murrays two break point chances during a lengthy sixth game.Murray needed one last push at the end of a stunning second half to 2016, when he has won Wimbledon and the Olympics before topping the rankings for the first time, and he pummelled the nervous Serbs backhand to make the first move in a stylish eighth game. And the Serb was at it again when he inexplicably missed this sitter at the net Djokovic was meant to be the fresher man and, after a relatively lean second half of the year, was odds-on to snatch back top-dog status in Murrays backyard, but an array of unforced errors as well as an inspired Scot at the opposite end of the court, helped him to break at the start of the next set.He established a 4-1 lead before Djokovic attempted a comeback by salvaging one of the breaks back as the tension mounted in a fever-pitch atmosphere. Heres the moment Murray sealed victory to end the year on top of the world Murray successfully served out the match, but only after a nervy finish on his third championship point, to send the home crowd into raptures and end a remarkable season on top of the world.
