Andy Murray defeated the four-time defending champion Novak Djokovic in the final, 6–3, 6–4 to win the singles tennis title at the 2016 ATP World Tour Finals.

Murray won the longest three-set match in the tournament's history, 3 hours and 38 minutes, in the semifinals against Milos Raonic, saving a match point en route to the victory and to the title.
Roger Federer, whose season was curtailed by injury, did not qualify for the Tour Finals for the first time since 2001, ending his record streak of 14 consecutive appearances. He fell to world No. 16 in the rankings as a result, ending his streak of 734 consecutive weeks in the world's top 10. Rafael Nadal qualified, but also withdrew due to injury.
