2016 ATP World Tour Finals final tips: Murray and Djokovic in perfect season-ending showdown

However, since that tournament he’s dramatically dipped in form – hence why Murray was able to chase him down at the top of the rankings so quickly – so the Scot certainly has more momentum and confidence.

The British and ATP world number one has beaten Djokovic this year too, in the Rome Masters final in straight sets, so why not back him to triumph 2-0 once more at a tasty 10/3?

But with these fellow 29-year-olds being so ultra-competitive, it is surely destined to go all the distance. Odds of 6/5 say there will be over 2.5 sets, while you can back Murray at 7/2 or Djokovic at 11/4 to win 2-1.

Other tasty markets available

Another intriguing market to take would be to take a punt on a tie-break, with the pair having battled out a fair few against each other over the years. Take a price of 10/11 for there to be one at any point, or a more enticing 5/2 for it to occur in the first set.

A scoreline of 6-3 also seems to be a common result in meetings between the two – five in their last three duels to be precise – so take a punt of 7/1 on Murray claiming the second set by that exact outcome.

Whatever happens, it promises to be an epic, so fasten your seat belts, make yourself comfortable and enjoy the ride in what is a race to finish 2016 and begin 2017 as the ATP world number one!
