Andy Murray is not too comfortable at the thought of being called Sir Andy just yet.
The 29-year-old has been tipped for a knighthood in the new year after crowning an outstanding 2016 by beating Novak Djokovic in the ATP World Tour Finals on Sunday to ensure himself the end-of-year world No.1 status.
It was a fitting finale to a brilliant season which saw him win a second Wimbledon crown, become the first man to win successive Olympic gold medals and end the year with 24 victories on the bounce, which was enough for him to overhaul Djokovic at the summit of the game.
Murray already has an OBE to his name, awarded after his maiden Wimbledon win in 2013, but there have been calls for a knighthood in the New Year's Honours list - something the Scot thinks he may be too young for.
"Obviously it is the highest honour you can get in this country," he said.
