The Wimbledon champion was tested for much of his opening match at the ATP finals but still came out on top, playing in his home country and beating Marin Cilic 6-3 Cheap Men's Nike Shox Gravity Gunsmoke , 6-2 Monday at the O2 Arena.
"It was obviously nice to play in that stadium with the crowd like that. It obviously helps," Murray said. "After a long, kind of, few months, it's nice to know that I'm going to be finishing the year playing in that sort of atmosphere."
Murray took over at the top of the rankings last week Cheap Men's Nike Shox Gravity Metallic Gold , replacing Novak Djokovic. But the year-end No. 1 ranking is still up for grabs and could be decided on Sunday if both Murray and Djokovic reach the final.
The prospect of attaining that, however, doesn't seem to be weighing too heavily on Murray's mind.
"The last few days, I haven't thought about it too much," Murray said. "It didn't change much for me."
It certainly hasn't affected his ability to win matches. Murray has won a career-high eight titles this season cheap nike shox gravity , including a second Wimbledon title in July and a second straight Olympic gold medal in August. Since then, he has won titles in Beijing, Shanghai, Vienna and Paris.
The latest victory on Monday didn't come so easy. Murray struggled to win his service games in the first set against Cilic, but still ended up saving all but one of the five break points he faced in the match. On the other side cheap nike shox , he converted four of his five break points.
"When I need to step in, I didn't. When I need to wait a little bit longer, I wasn't waiting," said Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion. "The hitting could have been better. Yeah Cheap Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Black Starry Sky , a little bit unfortunate to go 6-3, 6-2 down, where it felt it was much, much closer in the first set. Beginning of the second, I had couple chances as well."
In the early match Cheap Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Army Green Black , Stan Wawrinka finally lost a match at the ATP finals to someone who hasn't been ranked No. 1 in the world. The U.S. Open champion, who has reached the semifinals of the season-ending tournament for the last three years, was beaten by Kei Nishikori 6-2, 6-3.
"It was not a great match compared to what I can do, that's for sure Cheap Women's Nike Air Max 270 Coral Stardust ," said Wawrinka, a three-time Grand Slam champion. "I don't think I find anything on the court today. I was a little bit slow on everything. I was hesitating a lot with my game, my movement."
Wawrinka holds a 6-7 record at the tournament for the top eight players in the world, but his previous six losses were against Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal — twice to each.
Monday's loss doesn't mean Wawrinka is out of the tournament Cheap Nike Air Max 270 Men's Grape , but it hurts his chances of finishing the year as the No. 3-ranked player. Wawrinka, Nishikori and Milos Raonic all have a chance to end up one spot behind Murray and Djokovic.
"I'm sure I still have something inside me to play some great tennis before the end of the year, so I'm going to try everything for that in the next match," Wawrinka said. "I'm going to do what I need to do tomorrow to get ready for trying to play better in two days."
Nishikori, currently ranked fifth Cheap Nike Air Max 270 Men's Camo Heel , helped his own chances of reaching that third spot by breaking Wawrinka twice in each set while not allowing a single break point on his serve.
"I'm not thinking too much about rankings, but would be nice if I could finish 4 or 3," Nishikori said. "I see good chance to be there if I can play good this week."
