Who said what: Tennis, Hollywood and more react to Andy Murray's historic ATP Tour Finals win

Yesterday, Andy Murray, in his first ever ATP World Tour Finals final showdown, defeated Novak Djokovic to keep the World No. 1 crown. It was Djokovic’s fifth straight final here, with the Serb attempting to defend his 2015 title; it also marked the first time a Briton had become the year-end World No. 1.

Some of tennis’ most legendary players reacted with gusto – including some of Murray’s longest rivals.
