With the
year-end top ranking on the line, Murray won the
much-anticipated final 6-3 6-4 at London
The victory
ends Djokovic's four-year run of success at the tournament and the Serb's bid
to equal Roger Federer's record of six titles.
Andy
Murray: "It's
very special playing against Novak in a match like this, we've played Grand
Slam finals and Olympic finals before, but I am very happy to win and to be
world number one is very special. It is something I never expected.
"My
team have been around a long time, and my family have been there from the very
start and made lots of sacrifices so I thank them.
"Me
and Novak are lucky to have two great champions in our boxes, but to have other
great champions like Mats Wilander and Stefan Edberg here today is special. To
hold all four Grand Slams like Novak did this year was a very special
achievement and something we won't see for a very long time."
Novak
Djokovic: "It
has be a fantastic year with some great highlights, especially in the first six
months. Andy is definitely number one in the world. He deserved to win. He is
the best player.
"In
the decisive moments I wasn't able to come back. I played better late in the
match but it wasn't enough.
"I
wish him and his team all the best for the year."
