World No 1 Andy Murray on London and Manchester terrorism
While in Paris, Andy Murray spent part
All Andy Murray needed to do on Saturday to become the new No. 1-ranked men’s tennis player in the world was beat Milos Raonic in the semifinals of the Paris Indoors.
Raonic made it easy for Murray by withdrawing from the tournament, meaning the Scot advanced to Sunday’s final by walkover.
After Novak Djokovic lost to Marin Cilic in the quarterfinals on Friday, Murray’s path to No. 1 was set out.
Now Murray will become the new No. 1 regardless of how he does in Sunday’s final against American John Isner.
At 29, Murray is the second-oldest to debut at No. 1 behind John Newcombe.
