Andy Murray said it was amazing to end the year as world No 1 but insisted he needs to keep improving if he is to stay top of the rankings in 2017.

Murray wins ATP finals Andy Murray stays world No 1 after beating Novak Djokovic Murray will now take a fortnight off to celebrate and recuperate, but he is wary of a Djokovic fightback and already has one eye on next season.He told Sky Sports: Today was an amazing day. I felt more like I was playing for No 1 today, rather than the tournament. I have never felt like I was playing a match for a ranking before. Thats all anyone had been speaking to me about in the last few weeks - the media, friends - that was it. Highlights of Murray v Djokovic from the O2 Arena I said a few weeks ago I was most likely going to have to win every match I played between now and the end of the year, and it ended up that way.I would imagine Novak will be back, strong as ever, for next year, so I need to keep improving, work hard in the off-season and hopefully start the year strong. I will rest for two weeks, and then I fly to Miami two weeks tomorrow for two and a half weeks, before coming home for Christmas. Then I head off to Abu Dhabi and Doha - that is where Im starting the year - so I need those couple of weeks off and Im looking forward to it.

I didnt feel great when I got up this morning and last night I felt very tired before I went to bed. I just wanted to go out and give everything I had today, and thankfully it was enough. It would have been hard if it had gone to three sets. Murray defeated Djokovic 6-3 6-4 A bit of it is bluffing. I felt not good this morning. When they were asking me, How do you feel? I was like, I feel really tired. My fitness trainer said, You have put the work in, you can do this, you have to trust the work that you have done, and I wasnt really believing it. Thankfully, the match started off with shorter points. It was only in the middle part of the set that we started having longer rallies, and if we had started off like that, it would have been hard for me. Thankfully, I had enough to get over the line.Well be back in 2017, but in the meantime you can follow us skysports.com/tennis, or our app for mobile devices and iPad and our Twitter account @skysportstennis.By purchasing a Sky Sports Day Pass for £6.99 or Sky Sports Week Pass for £10.99, you can enjoy access to all seven Sky Sports channels and watch on a TV with a NOW TV Box or on a range of devices.

Every week, well mine the waiver wire for lesser-owned assets to help your squad, whether you favor dynasty or the redraft format -- and well also toss in some tips for DFS players out there. Categorized by position, the players are ranked in descending order by ownership percentage in ESPN leagues.Well also include some former go-to fantasy assets who may be overvalued -- in the short or long term -- for one reason or another.Contractual peace wins out on Winnipegs blue line; another young defenseman and a backup goaltender in The Big Apple deserve some extra fantasy love; and is one of pro hockeys most formidable forces of the past quarter-century finally seeing his star fade in Florida?ForwardsJustin Abdelkader, LW/RW, Detroit Red Wings Ownership percentage: 55.6Even those who have casually monitored Abdelkader since his NHL debut in 2010 recognize the versatile winger as one of the streakiest performers in the league. In that vein, its worth pointing out that hes on one of his mini tears at present -- riding a three-game point streak and scoring in two straight -- as a top-six skater. Strike while the 29-year-olds stick is hot. Its also worth noting that Tyler Bertuzzi will be making his NHL debut in Tuesdays game, on a line with Frans Nielsen and Dylan Larkin. Its too early to add him in standard leagues, but keep an eye on the situation.Michael Cammalleri, LW, New Jersey Devils Ownership percentage: 44.8Theres nothing like a natural hat trick to assist a player in breaking out of a scoring slump. Goalless to start 2016-17, Cammalleri erupted for three unanswered in Sundays 4-1 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes. Skating on a scoring line, and power play, with center Adam Henrique, the veteran sniper is a steady threat to score when healthy and hot. And right now, the 34-year-old is both.Matt Read, LW/RW, Philadelphia Flyers Ownership percentage: 16.8The latest line rushes out of Philly suggest Read will take over for Brayden Schenn on the left side of center Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds. Rumored to sit on the trade block earlier this season, Read is making a strong case for sticking around -- and/or raising his asking price on the market -- as he is tied for the clubs scoring lead with six goals.Cal Clutterbuck, RW, New York Islanders Ownership percentage: 10.8The latest candidate to sub in on the right side of John Tavares, Clutterbuck scored his second goal of the season -- and first since the opening week -- against the Vancouver Canucks Monday. As long as the feisty and physical forward remains in that role, he merits additional attention in both standard leagues and DFS play. Just be sure to jettison the 28-year once he drops back to the bottom six.Patrick Maroon, LW, Edmonton Oilers Ownership percentage: 5.8This experiment might not last long, but Maroon is currently replacing Milan Lucic on a line with Connor McDavid and Jordan Eberle. In the interim, the big winger presents as underrated -- and under-priced -- asset in DFS play. Mind you, Lucic has maintained his role on the top power-play unit, so this is not an invitation to drop him.Mikko Rantanen, RW, Colorado Avalanche Ownership percentage: 3.8A week following his 20th birthday, Rantanen notched his first NHL point -- an assist on Gabriel Landeskogs game-winning, power-play goal versus the Wild. Consider it the first of many for the towering, talented youngster, whos getting the early opportunity to shine on an even-strength line with Nathan MacKinnon and Matt Duchene.Nikita Soshnikov, RW, Toronto Maple Leafs Ownership percentage: 1.1Briefly mentioned in this space last week, Soshnikov has since made an excellent impression in his first three games of 2016-17, scoring a goal and an assist, all the while antagonizing the opposition. Now theres chatter among Torontos punditry collective that the 23-year-old may not be long for the clubs fourth line. A place alongside a red-hot Nazem Kadri is being volleyed about, along with the potential supplanting of Zach Hyman on a line with Auston Matthews and William Nylander. Hes worth a speculative add based on the chances of either.DefensemenJacob Trouba, Winnipeg Jets Ownership percentage: 33.1One two-year, $6 million bridge deal later, and thhe prickly standoff between the Jets and young defenseman is over.dddddddddddd Immediately back on the ice with teammates Tuesday morning, Trouba is projected to make his return to the Jets blue line sometime this week. After the holdout, the 22-year-old has a lot to prove. And the Jets will only benefit -- whether they actually intend to trade him or not -- from the young D-man playing well. That adds up to a potential breakout performance from the former first-round draft pick (No. 9 overall, 2012) through the rest of 2016-17. That ownership number will soon be much closer to 100, and should be.Dennis Seidenberg, New York Islanders Ownership percentage: 32.0Goodness knows, this offensive onslaught wont last forever, but consider giving the 35-year-old some temporary fantasy love while hes regularly denting the score shee
