He crushed Djokovic at the London O2 Arena in two straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, to be crowned year-end ATP World Tour Finals singles champion for the first time.
This makes the 29-year-old Murray the 17th person to be named year-end no. 1 ranked player since the points system was introduced for ATP rankings in 1973.
He is the first person to be awarded this distinction, apart from Djokovic himself, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, since Andy Roddick was accorded the honor in 2003.
