He is the man who sparked joyous scenes of celebration across a grateful nation when he ended Britain's 77-year wait for a Wimbledon men's champion.

Yet 14 months later Andy Murray's towering frame was missing from the eight-man lineup featured on the giant billboard posters plastered across the streets of London to advertise the ATP World Tour Finals.

It has been a tough year, but I feel like I am fully fit now, and have had a great last six weeks and I can't wait to return to the O2

While organisers scramble to replace the out-of-date banners - proclaiming "Get Ready London. They're Back" - with ones featuring Murray, the Scot is unlikely to lose any sleep over the omission.

What he will be more keen to focus on will be the thought of completing a unique treble of London titles.

Having bagged a gold medal from the 2012 London Olympics and the 2013 Wimbledon championship, Murray will get his first chance to complete the hat-trick at the O2 next week after missing last year's season finale following back surgery.
