Arise Sir Andy? More accolades to come for Murray after topping ATP rankings

Andy Murray special odds available!

After overtaking Novak Djokovic at the top of the ATP rankings, Andy Murray can now proudly look back at his career and say that he has been world number one, a champion of Wimbledon, the US Open, Olympics and Davis Cup.

But there could be yet more accolades coming his way by the beginning of 2017, as Coral rate him as the odds-on favourite to both claim yet another Sports Personality of Year Award (1/2) and even a knighthood (1/3)!

The superstar Scot finally toppled his old rival Djokovic on Saturday after the Serb was knocked out of the recent Paris Masters the day before and Murray’s semi-final opponent Milos Raonic pulled out injured.

To top it all off the 29-year-old even claimed the title after defeating John Isner 2-1, to thus end Novak’s run of three-in-a-row.

Murray to be first three-time SPOTY winner?

Murray is now on course for a third SPOTY, ahead of the likes of 2016 Olympic heroes Alistair Brownlee, Mo Farah, Laura Trott, and Nick Skelton, as well as Real Madrid wing wizard Gareth Bale.

Gaining it would make him the first person in the award’s 62-year history to do so, and above fellow multiple winners Nigel Mansell, Henry Cooper and Damon Hill after he topped the voting in 2013 and 2015.
