Marcus Buckland, Barry Cowan, Annabel Croft, Peter Fleming, Barry Millns, Mark Petchey, Greg Rusedski and Leif Shiras give their final verdict on a drama-filled ATP World Tour Finals which saw world No 1 Andy Murray crowned the best player on the planet. Murray produced an imperious display to defeat Novak Djokovic 6-3 6-4 and win the season-ending extravaganza at Londons O2 Arena on Sunday.The 29-year-olds first Tour Finals title came with the hugely significant bonus of ensuring that he remained above Djokovic in the year-end rankings and can finally claim he is the best player on the planet. Murray wins World Tour Finals Andy Murray defeated Novak Djokovic to win the ATP World Tour Finals for the first time So what do the Sky Sports Tennis team make of Murrays marvellous achievement? We asked each of the experts to sum up Sundays historic final and pick out one memorable moment from whats been a blockbuster week of action in the capital.Marcus BucklandThe final verdictUnbelievable, unpredictable, extraordinary. Im going to run out of adjectives and superlatives, but not what many people expected. Incredible nonetheless. Murray milestones Andy Murrays greatest moments revisited after winning ATP World Tour Finals Marcus memorable momentIf I had to pick one moment - aside from getting into the ice bath with Annabel - its actually that extraordinary point that Andy played at 3-1 in the second set tie-break against Milos Raonic. That unbelievable little dink between his legs that kept him going ultimately to an amazing victory there, and to the glory that followed just 24 hours later. Marcus Buckland and Annabel Croft take a refreshing ice bath! Barry CowanThe final verdictIts ended in a remarkable year. I think its a fantastic advert for the sport that weve had two great champions battle it out. Its always great to be part of history and Andys run was fitting it ended like that for him. An extraordinary effort Andy Murray outclassed and outfought rival Novak Djokovic, says Barry Cowan Barrys memorable momentI think the end. The last game reminded me so much of the Wimbledon final. When clearly he was still nervous, he was still able to hold his nerve, and thats the sign of a champion. Murray pulled off this wonderful half volley during the second set tie-break against Raonic Annabel CroftThe final verdictIt feels as if weve witnessed a really, really special occasion. I dont think anybody could believe that Andy Murray could dig into some reserves that we didnt think would be there after the tennis that hes had to come through in the course of the week. He said himself that when he woke up he felt pretty terrible and he didnt know how he was going to be able to play the way he did. Andy was rock solid, he served well, and I just think it topped off what has been a special year. Everyone feels that he is the true world No 1. Annabels memorable momentThat tie-break against Milos Raonic in the third set. I was courtside and it was unbelievable tension and nerves, passion, drama. It was an extraordinary match that will live long in the memory. Im never going to forget that match and I cannot believe he was able to bounce back the next day, after three hours and 38 minutes, and be able to beat the former dominant world No 1. But he really, really deserves it. Hes in such a great place and has become the most overwhelmingly popular champion. Highlights of the epic semi-final match between Murray and Raonic Peter FlemingThe final verdictTwo weeks ago, when Murray won Paris and we thought it could possibly come down to the two best players playing in the final here for the world No 1, it was a great prospect and the final was even more exciting than we could have hoped for. What Murray showed there was a great illustration of the human spirit. And he showed his fighting spirit, making a mockery of the physical travails hes had this week. He was fantastic. Highlights of the final between Murray and Djokovic at Londons O2 Flemings memorable momentIt was the entire final, from start to finish. Murray was resolute, he was aggressive, he just kept going putting fatigue out of his mind, and at the very end, until the very last point, you had no idea - or certainly I wasnt confident - he was actually going to win, but he kept the pressure on to finish the job. Heres Murrays superb angled cross-court backhand winner which was a contender for shot of the tournament Barry MillnsThe final verdictThis was the dream final, but did we dream that this would ever happen? A first British finalist in these championships and to play in the way he did as the world No 1, like the world No 1, he quite rightly goes into 2017 as the world No 1. It was brilliant. Murray: I still need to improve Andy Murray needs to improve to fend off Novak Djokovic in 2017 Millns memorable momentThe first moment I thought that he was fine was against Stan Wawrinka, when he came out and attacked him when he was being attacked, and for me that was the aggression we needed from Murray. From that moment, I thought he was on his way. You cannot underline how great an achievement this is. He should be so proud of what hes done. Highlights of Murrays emphatic win over US Open champion Wawrinka Mark PetcheyThe final verdictI was super impressed with the way Andy was able to handle himself out there. There was no room for any kind of errors and he almost had to do it in two sets, just because of what happened the day before. He changed his game, way more aggressive, served huge. It validates all the hard work Andy does in Miami, which was probably the main reason, and his incredible work ethic, why he won. Mark Petchey says now Andy Murray has become world No 1, he is Britains greatest ever sports athlete Petchs memorable momentThe tie-breaker against Milos in the third. It was just ridiculous drama given what was on the line knowing that if he lost the match he was going to lose his chance to be year-end No 1. Just that whole 25 minutes or whatever it was. From serving for it from 5-4 to having match point twice and then being match point down - that period there was just like a tennis story between two great players, everything mattered. Thats why I watch the sport; thats why I love it. Murray converted on his fourth match point against Raonic during a thrilling tie-break to finally come through Greg RusedskiThe final verdictSuperhuman performance from Andy Murray. I mean, incredible. Most of the pundits thought Djokovic was going to win and I thought Djokovic was going to win because I didnt think Murray was going to recover. He stayed calm, he was aggressive, he did everything right and the belief is immense. For me, personally, this is his greatest performance. Might not have been the greatest tennis, but to end the season No 1 is phenomenal. Probably our greatest sportsman in my lifetime here in Britain. VOTE: Greatest British sportsperson VOTE: Who is Britains greatest sportsperson currently competing Gregs memorable momentId say that last game. Djokovic has to save two match points, gets to deuce, and then Ivan Lendl puts his finger to his mouth and says keep it quiet there Andy. He keeps it quiet, finishes it off and ends the season world No 1. The mental strength, the physical work - I mean, you just dont realise what hes accomplished: 24 matches in a row, five tournaments and beating the second best player on the planet. Weve never seen this in tennis before, so history is made and history is made by Murray. Heres the moment Murray won the season-ending finale for the first time Leif ShirasThe final verdictI thought it was an amazing performance from Murray. Every time, he was able to call on that resource of energy, to call on that adrenaline, to do what he can do best, and that was to put balls in play, to work the points, and Novak just didnt have any answers. Murray just locked it in tight, refused to give any errors and then was aggressive on the forehand, which was the game plan that coach Ivan Lendl wanted to instill in him. Murray spoke to Marcus Buckland, Annabel Croft and Greg Rusedski after beating Djokovic Leifs memorable momentI hate to think there was anything better than match point taken by Murray. The atmosphere in this building was absolutely electric. Ive been to a lot of great moments, at Arthur Ashe Stadium at the US Open, and Wimbledon had some great moments, but this was pretty special. To see Andy and this crowd come together was pretty special.

NEW YORK -- Villanova has a new name this season: defending national champion Villanova.Six months ago, the Wildcats won the NCAA championship in a thrilling finish, beating North Carolina 77-74. Its been a whirlwind since.This was all firsts for us, Villanova coach Jay Wright said Tuesday. It was our first time to the White House and to be honored at Philadelphia City. We came back from our trip to Spain -- where nobody knew us -- we didnt even get our bags before people were asking for pictures.Once we start playing everything will be back to usual. Still, we dont know what it will be like to walk into visiting arenas as the national champions.The Wildcats were the overwhelming choice of the Big East coaches as the preseason No. 1. Xavier, which finished in last seasons final Top Ten , was second followed by Creighton, Georgetown, defending Big East Tournament champion Seton Hall, Butler, Marquette, St. Johns, Providence and DePaul.Villanova lost starters Ryan Arcidiacono and Daniel Ochefu and it wont be their points, rebounds or assists that will be hard to replace.Arch and Daniel were natural leaders. They were seniors. They played a lot of basketball and knew how to lead, Wright said. It will be tough to replace them, but well enjoy the journey.Wright has Big East preseason player of the year Josh Hart and Kris Jenkins, who hit the 3 at the buzzer for the national title, among the returnees.Roles change every year, so Josh and I will try to take over the leadership role, Jenkins said. Well put last year behind us. At least well try to.Jenkins was asked how often he watches the tape of his title-winning jumper.I havent watched it in a while, he said. Ill save something like that for when Im done playing.Xavier has three starters back and the Musketeers are a trendy natioonal pick for a Final Four berth.ddddddddddddWe have a good experienced group. I think Im excited to coach them, coach Chris Mack said. Last year, there was a lot of teaching, a lot of learning. Youre always learning, but the experience level they bring back gives you great comfort as a coach because theyve been there before. Theyve been in those big games. Theyre not afraid of the big moment.Preseason first-teamers Trevon Bluiett and Edmond Sumner return for the Musketeers.To me Edmond was one of the top point guards in a tremendous point-guard league a year ago, Mack said. Edmond has that maturity about him. Hes going to have another really good year for us.Georgetown forward Isaac Copeland was honest in the reason why he thinks the Hoyas will have a better season than last year, when they finished 15-18 overall and eighth in the 10-team league.Mainly conditioning, Copeland said when asked what the Hoyas did this offseason. There were times last year when we were out of shape, just straight up out of shape. I think this year we run a lot more so we can push the ball more and play at a much faster pace.Seton Hall beat Villanova in last seasons Big East Tournament championship game and then had to watch the Wildcats win it all.I watched it. It was killing me to watch it, Pirates junior Khadeen Carrington said. Im happy that they won. It shows how deep the league is, how good the league is.I think we gave them that fuel to go win that. I think Jay Wright said something like that, we gave them that fuel to go out and win six games.The preseason all-conference team is Jenkins, Bluiett, Sumner, Kelan Marton, Butler and Maurice Watson Jr. of Creighton.
