Toni Nadal, uncle to Rafael who can cement the year ending world no.1 ranking today if he beats Stanislas Wawrinka at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London, maintains the success so far of this year in coming back from a seven months absence with knee problems to win ten titles is already his nephew’s most incredible achievement of all.
Juan Martin Del Potro is still reeling from having his suitcase stolen in Paris just before he boarded a train to head to the London for the ATP World Tour finals on Saturday. In fact, he says he’ s been miserable since the incident occurred.
Roger Federer was preparing for a re-match with rival Novak Djokovic within hours of losing a Paris Masters semi-final to the Serb. The two are now in London for this week's season-ending World Tour Finals.
Juan Martin del Potro is insistent London is one of his favorite places to visit after this summer’s memorable Wimbledon semi-final battle.
When the first point of this lasted 27 strokes, one of the watchers commented that it was going to be a long afternoon. It might have been a lot longer had David Ferrer been able to hold on to leads.
Many of the world’s Top 8 singles players and doubles teams, including the likes of Juan Martin del Potro, Tomas Berdych, Richard Gasquet and Stanislas Wawrinka, hit the red carpet last night
David Ferrer was determined not to have yet another of his feeble matches against Rafael Nadal. He didn't exactly dominate, but he wasn't broken until he served for the match the first time -- and, having been broken, at once broke back and served it out.
As matches go, this was pretty dull. As drama goes, Novak Djokovic is doing his best. Rafael Nadal doesn't need much more to clinch the year-end #1, but Djokovic continues to apply all the pressure he can -- not just winning but winning easily.
Roger Federer had a succinct phrase to describe the fact that all eight players who have qualified for the ATP World Finals in London
Roger Federer looked smooth; Juan Martin del Potro and Stan Wawrinka determined but it was Tomas Berdych who put an end to the faint hopes Milos Raonic had of making the ATP World Finals
Roger Federer has finally assured his place at next week’s Barclays ATP World Tour Finals but did it in a way hardly befitting of a 17 times Grand Slam champion and the man who has spent more week’s as the world no.1 than anyone else in history.
Here was an interesting conundrum: With the Paris draw as it now stands, Roger Federer is sure to make it to London. So could he withdraw from Paris after wearing himself out this week?
I spent a couple of hours this morning writing what I thought was a very nice piece about the one and only way Federer could be kept out of qualifying for London. Simple as one-two-three. It was just math.
There really seems to be something wrong with David Ferrer these days. Half a dozen straight finals blown. And that after leading by a break in the second set. Not even the Spanish crowd could hold him together. He was broken four times.
Back to the final for Juan Martin del Potro, who now has almost a thousand point lead on Tomas Berdych in the contest for a year-end Top Five spot. It still looks as if he could end the year at #4, or even #3.
