Andy Murray

Andy Murray booked his place at the ATP World Tour Finals with a 6-3 6-3 victory over Grigor Dimitrov at the Paris Masters.

The British No 1 needed a victory in the third round contest to qualify for the season-ending event in London and duly delivered in impressive style. He will face either Novak Djokovic or Gael Monfils in the Paris quarter-finals.

Murray's place at the O2 Arena was in doubt until a brilliant run of form late in the season which has seen him win three tournaments over the past month.

It is the seventh straight time Murray has qualified for the Tour Finals, although he was not present at the tournament last year as he was recovering from back surgery. 

"It's a great event to be involved in. It's a fun way to finish the year. It's in London and they put a great event there - a packed house every day you play," Murray told Sky Sports.

He added of his improved form: "Since the French Open I think I've played well. I've lost against some of the best players that have ever played the game in the slams this year.
