Andy Murray says he feels "very proud" to become the first British singles player to be world number one since computerised rankings began in 1973.
The Scot, 29, needed to reach the final of the Paris Masters to replace Novak Djokovic - and did so when Milos Raonic pulled out before their semi-final.
Murray won Wimbledon and Olympic gold in 2016, reached 11 finals in 12 events and won a personal record 73 matches.
"I never thought I'd be number one in the world," he told BBC Sport.
"It's been many years of work to get here. It's been such a difficult thing to do because of how good the guys around me have been."
Murray, who has won three Grand Slam titles, two Olympic gold medals and helped Britain win the Davis Cup in 2015, will be officially confirmed as world number one when the revised rankings are released on Monday.
Novak Djokovic had topped the rankings for 122 weeks, and completed his career Grand Slam by beating Murray in the French Open final in June, his 12th major title.
Djokovic also won this year's Australian Open, and Murray said: "The year that Novak has had, barring the last six weeks or so, has been incredible.
"The year I've had to have to barely get there has been unbelievably difficult. I've had to work extremely hard."
Roger Federer (17) and Rafael Nadal (14) have won a combined 31 Grand Slam titles, many coinciding with Murray's rise through the rankings.
He will play John Isner in Sunday's Paris Masters final, after Raonic pulled out with an injury to his right quad. Isner beat Marin Cilic 6-4 6-3 in the semi-finals.
Djokovic, 29, would have retained his number one ranking had he reached the final - but Cilic beat him in the quarter-finals on Friday

Fears are growing for the safety of North Korea’s first lady, who has vanished from public view for the past seven months. Ri Sol-ju got married to Kim Jong Un in 2009 and soon after, she gave birth to their child and heir to the country. She was always seen in public wearing designer clothes and expensive handbags and has appeared alongside her husband several times as he toured factories and theme parks.
But for the past seven months, she has vanished from public view after last being seen at a sporting event in March.
North Korea observers fear she may have fallen into her husband/dictator's bad books and or maybe incurred the wrath of his equally menacing sister, Kim Yo Jong.
Experts believe Yo Jong is the power behind the throne and is even more deadly than her brother. One North Korea watcher told Yonhap News Agency:
“Ri showed up at public events every two months last year but has not appeared in public for over seven months this year. “That’s quite extraordinary.
“Some sources speculate Ri’s disappearance may be linked to a check on her activities by Kim’s younger sister Kim Yo Jong."
Wonders shall never end, an electronic store in Ukraine is offering five free units of latest iPhone 7 to anyone who is willing to change his or her legal name to 'iPhone 7' and according to the Associated Press, a 20 year old young man decided to change his name to iPhone Cim (that’s “seven” in Ukrainian, spelt with an “C” or a “S”)
Yes, the guy legally, changed his name and as promised, he got his free Apple phone. See him below holding up his updated passport and fancy phone prize:
Hilarious right? Well, iPhone 7 costs the about $850 in Ukraine, and according to the AP reports, changing of name costs just $2.

Xiaoli, a woman from the city of Shenzhen in southern China, who is from a poor home and the oldest child in her family asked each of her 20 boyfriends to buy her a newly launched iPhone 7. The woman who is the breadwinner of her family, got all 20 iPhone7 phones and then sold all of the phones to a mobile phone recycling site called Hui Shou Bao for 120,000 Chinese yuan (about £14,500), and used the money to put down a deposit on a house in the countryside.
Her friend, Qiaoba shared the story online, wrote in her blog post that when Xiaoli showed her new house to their group of friends, they were all very surprised when she revealed how she had managed to obtain the money for the deposit.
"Everyone in the office is talking about this now," wrote Proud Qiaoba, "Who knows what her boyfriends think now this news has become public." Proud Qiaoba added that Xiaoli "is not from a wealthy family.
Her mum is a housewife and her dad is a migrant worker, and she is the oldest daughter. Her parents are getting old and she might be under a lot pressure hoping to buy them a house... But it's still unbelievable that she could use this method!"

Another said: she has "a bright future."
While others condemned her:

Catherine Wakere was taken to Siakago Level Four Hospital last Wednesday, two weeks after the attack. Her upper right thigh and her private parts had started developing infections when she was taken to the hospital.
According to the hospital’s Nursing Officer Secinta Nyaga, the woman was only taken to hospital when a neighbour learnt of the cruel assault. Ms Wakere said her husband, Charles Njiru, 36, had without any provocation, poured boiling water on her. Around 11am on that fateful day, she was heating water for him when he suddenly grabbed a bowl, scooped the water and threw it on her thighs and private parts.
"He just scooped water that was boiling and splashed it on my thighs. He had aimed at my private parts, which were partly scalded," she said.
Ms Nyaga said the wound had deteriorated due to the lengthy stay without medication but her condition has since improved.
"Hers is a case of gender violence, which we reported to the police before treating her. The wound was in a very bad state since it appeared to have stayed for two weeks without being treated. If it was a fresh would it would have healed. She is now in a stable condition." she said.
Ms Wakere’s left thigh also bears another scar of a healed burn injury while she has two broken fingers, all said to have been inflicted by the husband. She had also told doctors that her fingers broke when she fell.
The hospital has also alerted the Children's Department to take care of the victim's children, a two-year-old girl and a boy, seven. Her mother, Daisy Muthoni, who is looking after her in hospital, said she was afraid of visiting her daughter’s home due to the cruelty of her husband.
News of the assault caused uproar among women leaders in Embu, with county assembly gender committee chairperson Peninah Mutua calling on police to crack down on perpetrators of gender violence. Mbeere North Assistant County Commissioner, Benjamin Birech said the man has been arrested and will be taken to court once his wife files an official complaint. He said the woman had reported being repeatedly beaten up and sexually harassed by the man.
"We will charge him with causing grievous harm. She says that the man beats her regularly. He is reported to be a habitual user of bhang and miraa," said Mr Birech, adding that the man could have been under the influence of drugs when he poured hot water on his wife."
