Murray is unreal
Got to say that was unreal!
fecking hell that was some shot.
Jinx
Djokovic seems to have totally lost the plot today at times.
Well done, Murray. He definitely deserves the win (and the number 1 spot in the rankings), but Djokovic has been very underwhelming with all these unforced errors. He doesn't look motivated and concentrated enough.
Just shows you that every sportsman needs to stay on top of the fitness and obviously have the raw talent … but getting that mind set right is the most important piece of the jigsaw IMHO. Mourinho is a big tennis fan … he's going to be watching! 
Murray has been brilliant
I bet he doesn't want the season to finish really. He'd be happy to take this confidence into January down under I'm sure!
It's a bit like us always getting it together just before an international break.

Prick tease!
Murray in being Andy Murray shocker
Wouldn't surprise me if Murray finds a way to lose this
Murray is going to get a lot of compliments for this but he's at the same level he's been for years. Djokovic is the one playing worse. He deserves those compliments but he deserved them before too.
Nah, he's much better mentally now and that's been the turning point for him to challenge for the top spot.
He's been like this since forever. He was number 2 for ages and Djokovic started playing a lot worse recently. That's what has made him challenge for the top spot.
I honestly think he's ramped up the consistency against the players below him too, but Djokovic certainly hasn't been at his best.
We'll have to agree to disagree. Djokovic's obviously lost some motivation to maintain his ridiculous level from the past few years, but Murray is a lot more consistent and mentally stable now, which has been a turning point for him.
Make you two right and I'm not really a big fan of Murray ttytt. The other argument is a bit like saying Arsenal would have won yesterday if they'd have played to their capacity. It doesn't allow for the fact that we didn't let them play their normal game!

Come on Murray I wanna watch Planet Earth!
He made him work for it but, extremely impressive stuff from Murray … have a great night folks!
Played great today, deserves to be number 1 all day long after this year.
No.1 Yes!!
What an achievement! Was biting my nails during his final service game!

How much do you get for winning that?
Absolutely! That was not easy. Also unbeaten since I think the Olympics? (not sure) - but he's had a long run. Great stuff.
£1.9m. £1m to the runner up
$2.4 million
Not sure that's what it's all about but I wouldn't turn it down I'm certain!
Cheers. Wow, not bad for a few days' work.
This tournament is the most lucrative I believe after the Grand Slams.
Think you'll find it's been a life-time of work and dedication but … whatever!
Even Goffin got like £100,000 for just showing up.
The thing is the top guys and gals don't even think about the prize money anymore - they've made so much. It's all about winning Slams, being No.1 etc etc and cementing your place in tennis history.
It's bloody hard work and dedication. Lots of respect for them.

Odd question, but why was everyone marking that match out for number 1? Murray lost in the group stages last year and Djokovic won it, so Murray should of had the year ending position settled just by showing up to the group stages as Djokovic could only lose points and he could only gain them.....both of which happened.
Murray is going to lose points he gained playing in the Davis Cup finals last year which would have knocked him back a bit.
Glad Murray got Lendl back. He was wasting away his talent with Maueresmo.
Hopefully Nadal adds a coach.

It;s a bit complicated but what it came down to is that Murray is set to lose the points he gained last year from the Davis Cup win, and as it's so close points wise, it naturally came down to who went furthest in this tournament.
Points don't count for Davis cup.
Djokovic was quite a distance ahead last year and the only tournament he gained points from was the French open.
Doubt Nadal's gonna ditch Uncle Toni
Great effort, Murray. Such a phenomenal ambassador for sport.
