Roger Federer was a huge title favorite going into the Nitto ATP World Tour Finals, and certainly going into Friday's virtual quarterfinal clash between David Goffin and Dominic Thiem. He is an ever bigger favorite now.
It will be the final match of 2017 for one man and the penultimate match of 2017 for the other when Grigor Dimitrov and Jack Sock clash in the semis of the Nitto ATP World Tour Finals on Saturday night.
Talk is cheap. Players have provided priceless moments with their words at this week’s World Tour Finals. Here are some of the most provocative, candid and funny comments from player press conferences at the O2 Arena.
Jack Sock brought showtime to the O2 Arena—and made American tennis relevant again at the season-ending finale. Roaring back from a break down in the final set, a spirited Sock stopped Alexander Zverev, 6-4, 1-6, 6-4, charging into the World Tour Finals semifinals.
Jack Sock was supposed to be playing golf at Augusta National this week. He didn't want to miss that tee time for nothing. Making the most of his last-minute trip to London, Sock booked a place in the semis of the World Tour Finals when he ousted Alexander Zverev 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 in a virtual quarterfinal contest on Thursday night.
Recovering from 2016 knee surgery and combating a sometime creaky back have reinforced Roger Federer’s belief in a strong mind-body connection.
Roger Federer isn't thinking about a return trip to the No. 1 ranking in the world. Perhaps he should. Closer to Rafael Nadal than he thinks--or cares to admit--he is, Federer picked up 200 more points when he defeated Marin Cilic 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-1 in his last round-robin match of this year's Nitto ATP World Tour Finals on Thursday afternoon.

Roger Federer wasn’t working for the weekend, but remained committed to the cause at the ATP World Tour Finals. Federer slashed 17 aces and did not drop serve dispatching Marin Cilic, 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-1, at the O2 Arena, scoring his 13th consecutive victory while raising his record against Top 10 opponents to 14-1 this season.
Good news for Grigor Dimitrov: he is through to the semis at the Nitto ATP World Tour Finals. Even better news for Dimitrov: he can't go up against Roger Federer until at the title match.
Grigor Dimitrov is enjoying one of his best seasons by asserting his own identity—and maintaining his sense of humor.
Streaks of skid marks Grigor Dimitrov left strewn across the service box were remnants of his surge into the semifinals. Playing near-flawless attacking tennis, Dimitrov roared through nine straight games steamrolling David Goffin, 6-0, 6-2, to charge into the World Tour Finals semifinals today.
It might as well be a quarterfinal match when Alexander Zverev and Jack Sock square off at the end of Group B round-robin competition at the Nitto ATP World Tour Finals on Thursday night.
