Murray, who reunited with coach Ivan Lendl last month, has
reached the finals of his last five tournaments, winning in Rome
and at Queen's Club before beating Milos Raonic in straight sets
to end a 36-month hunt for a third grand slam title.
Murray's triumph and Djokovic's third-round loss means 4845 ATP
ranking points now separate them.
"I would love to get to number one, for sure, and the way to do
that is to show up every week and be focused on that event,"
Murray told British media.
"It's definitely a goal. It's something I spoke to my team
about, something I chatted to Ivan about.
"This has been a great tournament for me but, if I want to win a
few slams over the next few years, I am going to have to get
better. I know that he (Djokovic) will come back strong from
this because of the player he is."
Djokovic arrived in London as the holder of all four grand slams
and the Serb had not been beaten on the big stage since losing
to Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka in the 2015 French Open final.
"Novak is still clearly number one in the world right now. He is
not just going to go away because he has had one bad tournament.
You can't forget what he has done in the last 18 months or so --
it has been incredible," Murray added.
