Andy Murray most certainly knows how to take the good with the bad. The British tennis star had a lot of downs, then ups, and lately it's been more downs than ever before, but he's finally on the way up, and he's hoping to stay there this time. The Grand Slam contender defeated Julien Benneteau at the Paris Masters, and he's moved to within one win of a place at the World Tour Finals, also rebuilding his otherwise faltering legacy in the process. What's next for Murray?
Murray is fifth in the qualifying rankings for the winter finals, but three titles in five weeks have given him a chance to make the November London tournament. Check out the qualifying race below:

Murray was overjoyed, saying 'I put in a lot of hard work the last few weeks, played a lot of tough, long matches. If I get in to London I deserve to be there, because it's your results across the whole year. My results in most of the tournaments this year, most of the big tournaments, have been good enough to be in the top eight. I have won more matches than most of the players in the slams, maybe one or two other guys, Roger and Novak might be the only ones to have won more.'
Will Murray recapture his past glories?
