Andy Murray may have taken over as world No 1, but Novak Djokovic is still in close proximity and __can move back to the top of the rankings at the ATP World Tour Finals in London from November 13-20.
Murray's win at last week's Paris Masters took him on to 11,185 points, 405 ahead of Djokovic's total of 10,780.
The points on offer at the O2 are as follows:
- 200 points for winning a group match, of which each player has three.
- 400 points for winning a semi-final.
- 500 points for winning the tournament.
It means that a maximum of 1,500 points are on offer to any player who wins all five matches, while a player who wins the tournament but loses a group match will collect 1,300 points.
There are many permutations for who will end the tournament as world No 1, but the key ones to remember are:
- Murray will stay world No 1 if he matches or betters Djokovic's results.
- Djokovic will take back over as world No 1 if he wins all five matches, irrespective of Murray's results.
