The ranking changes are made official on Monday and will make the Scot the first British singles player to hold the top spot since the ATP Tour points system was introduced in 1973.This has been an incredible journey for me to get to the top of the rankings, said Murray, who will move 405 points above long-time rival Novak Djokovic.Isner, who recorded an impressive win over Marin Cilic to reach the final, looked comfortable on serve until Murray seized his opportunity in the sixth game. Murray produced this supreme backhand slice during his win over Isner The American, bidding for his first Masters 1000 title after reaching the final at Indian Wells in 2012 and Cincinnati in 2013, failed to take advantage of two break point opportunities in the next game and that allowed the Wimbledon and Olympic champion to close out the set in 35 minutes, making just four unforced errors in the process.Murray was forced to show his remarkable powers of recovery to save four break points in the eighth game of the second set, which went to a tiebreak. And it was Isner who took command by nailing his 100th ace of the week en route to levelling up an intriguing contest. Isner landed his 100th ace of the week during the final In a fluctuating match, Murray survived a barrage of aces in the deciding set, before breaking in supreme fashion in the 10th game to secure his eighth title of a remarkable season after extending his winning run to 19 matches.Murray now leads Isner 8-0 in their career meetings, dating back to their first match at the Australian Open six years ago.I have to congratulate Andy, first for the title and for getting No. 1 in the world, Isner said to Murray on the court. Every week I see how hard you work and you absolutely deserve it. Murray added that he was looking to improve on his performances at the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals, which begins next Sunday at Londons O2.Im not so much thinking about finishing the year as world number one, he told Sky Sports.I wanted to try and get there if possible, but I want to just play well at the O2.I feel like some of the years there Ive not played my best tennis, maybe not done myself justice, so I want to go and play good tennis.It doesnt guarantee winning against the best players in the world, but I dont want to finish the year on a bad note having not played well there.So Ill get a few days rest now and start preparing for that and hopefully finish well.

Its a good start for me and hopefully we can get some momentum from this.It was quite a good wicket but most of the guys felt we fell a bit short runs wise, so credit to all the bowlers because we made it tough for them to score and got wickets at crucial times.Visiting skipper Luke Wright said: I was delighted, after the start Kent had, to restrict them to that total. Id have taken that total any day, so its disappointing now and feels like we let that one slip away. But credit to their bowlers, I felt they executed their plans really well.Also credit to Sam [Northeast] for his decision to bring on Cowdrey when he did. You never know how itll go when you bring on a part-time bowler, especially with someone like Ross Taylor batting. But it proved a gutsy decision.Needing to score at 8.35 an over to surpass Kents modest 166, Sussex openers Wright and Chris Nash had faced only eight deliveries when a low sun glinting through the gap between the Pavilion and the Frank Woolley Stand caused a stoppage in play for 17 minutes. As the players stood in the middle waiting for the sun to drop, the irony was not lost on a Kent side who have lost 1,216 overs to inclement weather in all forms of cricket this summer.On his Kent debut, Rabada struck with his 11th delivery by pegging back the off stump of Chris Nash with a 90mph yorker.Bad light came into play again at the opposite end of the ground as this time the setting sun reflected off the windows of the Sky Sports commentary box to dazzle the batsmen and cause a further 10-minute delay.Six balls after the resumption Wright attempted to uppercut against Rabada to be caught superbly on the run at third man by David Griffiths.With James Tredwell bowling frugally, Sussex sstill required 100 to win with 10 overs remaining, but that was the cue for Taylor to cut lose by taking 17 off a Darren Stevens over.ddddddddddddKent hit back when, in his first over, Cowdrey had Phil Salt caught at cow corner then, Cowdreys arm ball wrapped Taylor on the pads flush in front to send him packing one short of his 50.Matt Machan launched into a leg-side six off Griffiths leaving Sharks to score 32 to win off their final two overs. Mitch Claydon conceded nine off the penultimate over, leaving Rabada with 23 to defend in the last.Batting first after winning the toss, Kent made a watchful start through Tom Latham and Joe Denly, who appeared content simply to see off the pace of Tymal Mills.The Kent openers took a brace of boundaries off Nuwan Kulasekara, the Sri Lanka seamer making the first of his three appearances for Sussex, but still seemed too circumspect.Ajmal Shahzad dropped short allowing Latham to clip the first six of the night over midwicket as Kent reached 48 without loss after their six Powerplay overs.Sussex hauled the run-rate in further to restrict Kent to 89 fwithout loss at the innings mid-point and spark the loss of three wickets in seven balls.After helping to set a record opening stand in matches against Sussex worth 90, Denlys 40-ball knock for 44 ended with a sliced drive high to deep cover off Nash then, four balls later, Northeast holed out to long-on to make it 99 for 2. The rot continued as Latham clipped off his legs to be caught at deep fine leg for 48.Sam Billings should have gone for 12 when he miscued a Danny Briggs full-toss only for Salt to spill a comfortable throat-high chance at mid-wicket. The drop cost only 10 runs when Billings miscued his next full toss to long-on where Machan pocketed the chance to make it 130 for 4.In his second stint down the Nackington Road slope Mills mixed his pace and lengths superbly to bamboozle Kents big-hitting duo of Stevens and Alex Blake.Frustrated by the lack of boundaries, Stevens launched into a straight drive against Jordan to pick out Kulasekara at long-off.Mills conceded his sole boundary of the night in his final over, but wrapped up his excellent four-over stint of 1 for 15 by yorking Cowdrey for a duck. Blakes unbeaten 36 was full of miscues and mishits as Kent mustered 166. ' ' '
