Briton Andy Murray and Germany’s Angelique Kerber were named International Tennis Federation (ITF) World Champions yesterday, capping stellar years for the men’s and women’s world number ones.

Murray, whose brother Jamie was named doubles World Champion along with Brazil’s Bruno Soares, won Wimbledon in July before becoming the first player to win two Olympic singles gold medals when he retained his crown in Rio de Janeiro in August.

He won nine titles in a milestone year that ended with him beating rival, Novak Djokovic to win the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour Finals and seal the year-end rankings top spot.
