Former British No 1 Tim Henman believes Andy Murray can consolidate his position at the top of world tennis and is now the man to beat. Murrays climb to world No 1 was confirmed on Saturday when semi-final opponent Milos Raonic was forced to withdraw from the Paris Masters tournament due to a leg injury. Murray becomes world No 1 Andy Murray has become the worlds No 1 tennis player for the first time Murray takes on John Isner in Sundays final, live on Sky Sports 3 from 2pm, but Novak Djokovics quarter-final exit at the hands of Marin Cilic has seen the Scot reach the summit and Henman feels he can stay there. Henman told BBC 5 Lives Sportsweek programme: For me, Andys going to be the player to beat. Serving his apprenticeship and waiting for his moment, I do feel this is his moment.Hes going to be number one on Monday and I really hope he can go on and finish the year well at the O2 (at the ATP World Tour Finals) to finish the year as No 1 and build on it for next year and beyond. Andy Murray says hes proud after becoming the world number one, replacing Novak Djokovic after 122 weeks But as we know in sport, especially tennis with the number of events there are in a calendar year, things can change very quickly.But if Andy stays fit and healthy I see him being the dominant force moving forward.Murrays rise to the top has been built on his ability to bounce back from huge disappointments, according to proud mum and former coach Judy Murray.Her son lost all of his first four Grand Slam finals and Judy is convinced that just made him stronger.

He has incredible fighting spirit and resilience and over the many years, through the juniors and senior tour, you have to be able to enjoy the successes, and that is easy, she said.But recovering from the defeats that really hurt you, like the grand slam finals for example, these are really tough to overcome because youre right up at the top.Thats when its important to have a very strong network of people around you, who can help you and support you and encourage you, but from a very young age hes always been one of those guys who, if he suffers a defeat that hurts him, he comes back stronger.It just made him want to work harder. Andy Murrays won the US Open and two Wimbledon titles but his former coach Mark Petchey sees his rise to number one spot as his greatest achievement Jamie Delgado, part of Murrays coaching staff, said the 29-year-old has never stopped improving.Its incredible what hes done, Delgado said. Hes always been an amazing talent. I remember hearing about him when I was still playing, this young kid from Scotland.I remember seeing him play for the first time and to watch his progress from juniors to seniors - its just been constant improvement every single year and its been incredible to watch really.He just so deserves it, really, really deserves it.Former world No 1 and 17-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer was quick to acknowledge Murrays achievement.We have a new (king) in town, the Swiss said on his Twitter account.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Rory McIlroy is resigned to losing his Race to Dubai crown, but his motivation this week is to successfully defend his DP World Tour Championship title and move one step closer to regaining the world No. 1 ranking.McIlroy could have replaced Jason Day atop the rankings by winning the European Tours season-ending tournament, but Russell Knoxs decision to withdraw last week reduced the strength of the field and lowered the number of points available.If Knox, ranked No. 18, had remained in the field, the winner of the tournament would have gained 54 points -- enough for McIlroy to surpass Day. Instead, the winner will earn just 52 points, leaving McIlroy short even with a victory.His chances of contending this weekend seem high. McIlroy, the defending champion and also the 2012 winner at Jumeirah Golf Estates, has finished outside the top 10 only once in seven appearances, tying for 11th in 2011.Its always good to be back here, he said. I have great memories from this place, feel like my game is in pretty good shape. Ive played this golf course pretty well in the past, and hopefully, I can play it just as well, if not better, this week. (It) would be a good way to finish the year on a high and get a victory and lift the trophy and hopefully make the turkey taste a bit better at Christmas.McIlroy acknowledged that he can finish the season atop the European Tour rankings, but knows its unlikely. He must win and needs Henrik Stenson, Danny Willett and Alex Noren, each above him in the Race to Dubai standings, to struggle.ddddddddddddI can win mathematically, but its not going to happen, McIlroy said. I wouldnt hold my breath. I think the three guys that are ahead of me are playing very good golf, especially the two Swedes, Henrik and Alex.Alex, with what hes done over the past few weeks; Henrik has had a fantastic year, and so has Danny, obviously, so I dont expect those guys to play badly this week. Im just concentrating on trying to win the golf tournament, and if I can do that, Ill be very happy.McIlroy pulled out of the Turkish Airlines Open, citing security concerns, shortly before the event began earlier this month. That decision virtually ruled him out of the Race to Dubai as well.However, McIlroy, from Northern Ireland, said he has no regrets.Im very happy with my decision, he said. Ive been here for the last couple of weeks. Ive done a bit of practice, enjoyed myself. So, no, no regrets at all.Id rather have gone to Turkey wanting to go there and winning the golf tournament, rather than going there not wanting to and finishing tied 40th. What good does that do to the tournament?Although the next European Tour season begins in December, and the next U.S. PGA Tour season is already underway, McIlroy confirmed the DP World Championship will be his last event of the year. He last played in a December event in 2013. ' ' '
