Sports briefly: Andy Murray wins ATP finals, keeps No. 1 ranking

Andy Murray is the No. 1 player in the world, and it certainly looked that way Sunday.

The Wimbledon champion ensured his place at the top, beating Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-4 in London for his first title at the ATP finals. Murray will remain No. 1 until next season — and as long after that as he can, he said.

"I would like to try and stay there, obviously. It's taken a huge effort the last five, six months to get there," said Murray, who took over the top ranking two weeks ago and has now won 24 straight matches.

"I'm aware that's going to be extremely difficult because I had a great year this year. I only managed to do it by one match."

Murray replaced Djokovic as the top-ranked player in Paris, but the second-ranked Serb could have regained the No. 1 position by winning Sunday at the O2 Arena.

"There was no serious chance for me to win today's match," Djokovic said. "From the very beginning we could see that. He was just a better player all in all."
