British Andy Murray becomes World Number 1 for the first time in his career

Tennis star, Andy Murray, on Sunday defeated John Isner 6-3, 6-7, 6-4 to win the Paris Masters on to become Tennis world number one and officially becoming the first Brit to be ranked World number one since John Newcombe in 1974.

The victory was Murray's first Paris Masters title and the victory brought him his sixth ATP title of an excellent 2016 for the Brit.
 

Murray now lead former world number one Novak Djokovic with 405 point gap with the ATP World Tour Finals to begin next weekend in London. 

“It feels different, certainly, to when I had won a Grand Slam or anything like that or the Olympics. It feels quite different. Maybe just because of the way it happened, really,” said Murray told journalsits.

“When you play a final, you win or you lose. Whereas with the No.1 ranking, it’s not really like that. I could still potentially have had a chance to do it next week so it feels kind of different.”

Although Murray time at the top of the ranking could be short-lived if former number one Novak Djokovic wins every match at the upcoming ATP World Tour Finals in London which could see him reclaim the top ranking he held for 122 weeks.
