Andy Murray is getting closer to the No.1 ranking as he grabbed his 3rd consecutive title at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna, after beating his French-opponent Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3, 7-6.

The Scot asserted his supremacy in the 1st set, and claimed it 6-3, but faced strong resistance by Tsonga in the 2nd, before battling to take set 7-6 in his 78th singles match of the year.

The three time Grand Slam winner and twice Olympic champion can overtake Djokovic next week if he wins the Paris Masters and the Serb doesn't reach the final.
