When Andy Murray beat Novak Djokovic in the final of the ATP World Tour Finals on Sunday, he ended a season that saw him win Wimbledon and eight other titles, along with the Olympic Gold. He also became the world No. 1 following the win.

2016 was the year Murray finally got his dues after relentless hard work and despair. Living in the shadows of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer wasn’t easy for the Scot. A part of the big four, with Murray becoming world No.1 warranted their dominance over the tennis world. However, it took a long time coming for Murray.

An eight-time runner up in Grand Slam finals, Murray dominated Djokovic in Sunday’s all important clash as the world No. 1 ranking was at stake. He beat the Serb 6-3, 6-4 in a clinical manner. It is not everyday that you outclass Djokovic. His 24th win on the trot, it will be a match to remember for every British tennis fan. After reaching the world No. 2 spot, it took Murray seven years, three Grand Slam titles, two Olympic gold medals and a Davis Cup to become the best in the world.
