Anderson said.

The win saw him join an elite group of players who have also lifted the Mubadala World Tennis Championship title that include Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

The celebrations however will have to be cut short as the South African will be back in action on New Year’s Day at the ATP Maharashtra Open in India as second seed.
