"It's great having now qualified for the Finals, and it's amazing I get to play in front of a home crowd again, it was such a good atmosphere there last year," said Murray. "I thought they did a great job organizing, especially as it was the first year at The O2, they put on a great event and I look forward to competing again.”

Murray won his 15th career title this past summer at the Rogers Cup in Toronto, where he became the fifth different player to defeat Nadal and Federer in the same tournament. He also was a finalist this season at the Australian Open and Farmers Classic in Los Angeles, and reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon.
