Djokovic Tops Federer for Year-End Title

 

(November 12, 2012) Novak Djokovic came back from early service breaks in both sets to top Roger Federer 7-6(6), 7-5 for the ATP World Tour Finals championship.

The win for No. 1 Djokovic netted the Serbian $1.76 million dollars. The Serbian lost his top ranking in July after Federer won Wimbledon, but regained it a week ago and sealed the year-end top ranking. It’s Djokovic’s second year-end championship, he also won it in 2008.

Federer rushed out to a 3-0 lead in the first set, winning 12 of the first 14 points of the match, but Djokovic won the next 3 games to even it up.

“Maybe a bit of regret because I had the lead twice first before him,” Federer told media. “At the end of the day, that doesn’t matter. You have to get over the finish line in the set and then obviously at the match. He was better at that today.”

Djokovic served for the first set at 5-4 but was broken. Both men held to move into a tiebreak which Djokovic won 8-6.

Federer again took a second set 2-0 lead but could not hold on. The Swiss even held two set points at 5-4  before Djokovic won four straight points, three straight games to seal the victory 7-6 (6), 7-5.

“I shouldn’t have been broken as often as I was broken today,” said Federer. “But then again, that obviously has something to do with Novak, as well.”

“Today we had times where we had longer rallies, we had times where we had shorter rallies. I think we had some great stuff out there. It was good playing such points. I think the quality was good. I shouldn’t have been broken as often as I was broken today. But then again, that obviously has something to do with Novak, as well. It was extremely close today.”

“I think it’s been a fantastic season to be part of. Four different Grand Slam champs. Then having the Olympics, as well, was obviously very unique. I’m very happy I stayed injury free throughout. That allowed me to basically play a full schedule almost. I’m very pleased that I was able to pick up my performance at the end of the season, like I played now this week, so obviously gives me confidence for next year.”

“It’s not the first time that Roger starts against me so well,” Djokovic said. “I’ve experienced before his aggressivity, really trying to put his mark on the match. It’s what he’s done again.”

“It’s been a very long year, a very long two years, but very successful two years,” said Djokovic.

“I actually feel even more satisfied right now than last year, even though I had an incredible 2011. I feel this year, considering the circumstances that I had to face on and off the court, expectations, all these things, I believe that this year has been even more successful for me.”

“It was a fantastic year, where I’ve had to face a lot of difficulties off the court as well. Especially coming into this tournament, having my father fighting his own fight for health gave me extra strength that I wanted to play for him in a way.

“That’s one of the reasons I really gave it all every match, especially tonight. This was a title for him.”

Djokovic To Face Federer in Final of ATP World Tour Finals

(November 11, 2012) It’s appropriate that the top two players in the world will meet in the final of the ATP World Tour Finals on Monday night in the O2 Arena in London.

No. 1 Novak Djokovic was down a set and a break before rallying to stop Juan Martin Del Potro 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in a day session semifinal on Sunday. No. 2 Roger Federer took out Andy Murray 7-6 (5), 6-2 in the evening session.

“I knew that if I lose today it’s the end of the season, so I gave everything I had and couldn’t be more happy,” Federer said on court after the match to the British crowd.

“I started the match off very well,” said Murray after the match. “I was going for my shots a lot. I was playing very aggressive on the return. Then he started to serve a little bit better. I missed a few more returns. Then, when he got the break back, he started to play better. I hung on a little bit the end of the first set.”

Federer found himself recovering from both an early break in the first set and a 1-3 deficit in the tiebreak to hold off Murray to take the set 7-6(5).

Federer broke Murray twice in the second set, losing a mere two points on his own serve.

Once he gets ahead, he’s incredibly hard to stop,” said Murray. “He tends to play better and better when he gets up. I feel like I gave him that advantage the beginning of the second set.”

Djokovic had to rebound from a slow start.

“Well, I had a little, let’s say, crisis in today’s match from 4-all, first set to 2-all in the second, where I didn’t feel so good on the court, struggling to find my momentum and my rhythm,” Djokovic said. “So you try to be positive and push myself to fight for every point and believe I can come back. That was the case.”

“He’s so good,” Del Potro said. “Of course, he’s the No. 1. In these kinds of matches, they make the difference between them and the rest of the players.”

“I believed that I could come back,” said Djokovic. “I believed that I could turn this match around in my favor, and I’ve done so.”

“I’m very pleased, it’s the first final here in London,” said Djokovic. “I haven’t played a final of the [ATP] World Tour Finals since 2008. I really look forward to it. It’s already a great success [to get to this stage]. But knowing it’s the last match of the season, I’m really going to try to give my best physically and mentally tomorrow to eventually try to get the trophy.”

Federer will be going for his 7th year-end title, while Djokovic is looking for his second. Djokovic won the ATP World Tour finals in 2008. Federer leads overall head-to-head against Djokovic 16-12.

Del Potro Stops Federer to Qualify for ATP World Tour Finals Semis

( November 10, 2012) Juan Martin Del Potro claimed the final spot in the semis finals of the ATP World Tour finals on Saturday by stopping Roger Federer 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-3 in their last round-robin match. Del Potro will face Novak Djokovic in the semifinals Sunday during the day, while Federer plays Andy Murray in the evening session.

It was the Argentine’s second straight win over the Swiss. Del Potro stopped Federer in the final of his hometown tournament in Basel Switzerland. The loss snapped Federer’s 12 match winning streak in the year-end tournament.

“It’s a little record, but really tough to do it,” Del Potro said of the victory. “To beat Federer is not easy, for sure. But I didn’t think about the semis or trying to qualify for the next round. Just was thinking about my match, doing the same things like in Basel.”

“Good effort (from) his side to get me twice in a row now,” Federer said. “I hoped I didn’t have to lose against him again today.”

“Now you have three big names in the semifinals, and one big guy,” said the 6’ 6” Del Potro.

From Favorites to Fatigue – Day Four from the ATP World Tour Finals

By Ros Satar

(November 8, 2012) LONDON – Bob Bryan/Mike Bryan def Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi/Jean-Julien Rojer 7-5, 6-4

Having arrived just in time to watch the Bryan Brothers close out a straight sets win against Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi and Jean-Julien Rojer, the twins were then honoured on court with two ATP awards.

ATP Executive Chairman and President Brad Drewett presented them with the ATP World Tour No. 1 Doubles Team trophy in the 2012 ATP World Tour Awards (sponsored by Moët & Chandon).

The Bryans have won this award for the fourth successive year, and a record eighth time overall (2003, 2005-07, 2009-12).

Also for an eighth time, the popular twins were voted as the ATPWorldTour.com Fans’ Favourite.

 

Juan Martin Del Potro def Janko Tipsarevic 6-0, 6-4

Most tennis fans watching the evening singles session on Day four will have had some opinion regarding Janko Tipsarevic’s Bercy retirement, some six points before giving Jerzy Janowicz another extraordinary win.

Usually quite tenacious on court, Tipsarevic had already been handed a bit of a lesson at the hands of Federer in his first round match.

Reportedly unwell prior to the match, during the warm up, Tipsarevic seemed unhappy with the tension in his racquets, and things did not start well for him in the match with an early break for Del Potro.

It looked as though he was struggling to find his range, either at the net or painting the lines.

Whatever the issue was, it really was not working for him, and the set very rapidly got away from him, although the crowd burst into wild applause whenever he got a point.

Another racquet was flung away for restringing, but by this time the set was as good as gone.

The second set saw Tipsarevic trying to take a little more control in his service games, and again was given a rousing cheer for getting a game on the board.

In fact in the second set, it looked as though he was settling down into his game, holding to love in his next service game.

But that was short-lived as he was broken in the fifth game.

All was not bad though, and in a great rally, Tipsarevic dug out a low ball for a fantastic passing shot, hanging in by a single break of serve.

Del Potro played certainly within himself, although the crowd were treated at times to some decent rallies.

“I play[ed] much better than my first match here,” said Del Potro, “[a] win in two sets gives me a chance to go to the next [match].

“I know if I want to beat Roger, I should play much better than today and my first match.”

After the match, Tipsarevic said: “I wouldn’t really blame my loss on the sickness.

“I am generally feeling fine.

The problem was that I was sick and I didn’t play a lot of tennis lately.”

Controversially, though, Tipsarevic tweeted to his followers about having passed the one hour mark one more time, making some twitter tennis followers wonder whether Richard Gasquet, alternate at this event, might have made more of a match of it, if he’d been given the chance to play instead.

The perhaps earlier than expected finish meant that those in the crowd who stayed were treated to Del Potro having a hit and kick about with fellow Argentinean, Sergio Aguero (Manchester City Football Club).

The final Group B round robin matches will be played on Saturday.

Del Potro faces Roger Federer, and Tipsarevic will close out his year against David Ferrer.

A Tale of two British Slam Champions – Day Three of the ATP World Tour Finals


By Ros Satar

(November 8, 2012) LONDON – It certainly was a tale of two Grand Slam Champions on Day Three of the ATP World Tour Finals, London.

Novak Djokovic def Andy Murray 4-6, 6-3, 7-5

At the end of the day session, Andy Murray was not quite able to capitalise on his fast start after taking the first set off World Number 1 Novak Djokovic in just 44 minutes (6-4).

But Djokovic needed no invitation to punish some sloppy play by Murray in the second set, as fans on Twitter commented in wry amusement at his outfit including gold shorts.

Although Murray clawed his way back into contention in the decider, but in the end at key moments in the last few minutes, Djokovic denied Murray’s attempts to win another three set battle.

“The last two minutes of the match probably is what decided it,” said Murray.

“He broke from 15/40, and then I had 15/40 next game and didn’t break.

“You would hope that one game wouldn’t decide the outcome of a whole match.”

Djokovic said: “I didn’t expect anything less other than a tough match that went down the wire and was decided on the last point.”

Jonny Marray/Frederik Nielsen def Daniel Nestor/Max Mirnyi 7-6(3), 4-6, 12-10

Whereas fans had reasonable expectations that Murray would be able to repeat his US Open success against Djokovic, Wimbledon’s wild-card Doubles Champions continued their dream partnership by booking their berth in the Semi-Finals.

Marray and Nielsen started brightly, and stood toe-to-toe with the established pairing of Nestor and Mirnyi, building a commanding position in the first set tie-break.

The brightness faded a little at the start of the second set when a couple of double-faults saw the Wimbledon champions lose the first game of the second set.

They did well to stay within the single break, but the crowd were treated to another of their now thrilling Match Tie-Breaks.

The scoring was nip-and-tuck throughout with the British/Danish team missing their chance to close out match point at 9-8, allowing Nestor/Mirnyi to turn the screw, as they had to save match point at 9-10.

Nestor’s volley sailing long saw the wonder-boys secure themselves a place in the semi-final.

Marray said: “We’re pretty surprised we’re through after two matches.

“We can enjoy the next match really.

“There’s no pressure on us again really.

“It’s really a great situation, I think.”

Neilsen said: “We’re comfortable being here level wise.

“We weren’t here just to make up the numbers.”

 

Tomas Berdych def Jo-Wilfred Tsonga 7-5, 3-6, 6-1

What started out as a match of two men, seemingly intent of beating the fluff out of the tournament tennis balls, resulted in a comfortable deciding set for Berdych, who continued his head-to-head bettering of Tsonga.

Both men came out hitting hard and flat and initially there was little variation from either.

The first set saw Tsonga dig himself out of potentially tricky sands, and at times throughout the match just seemed to be off his range a little.

In fact it looked as though maybe missing the chance to break at three-all was playing on Berdych’s mind in the next game, as it was his turn to tough out his service game.

Tsonga looked to be taking a bit more initiative at the later stages of the first set, and when he put together rallies moving Berdych left and right, it looked as though he had finally got the measure of him.

But carelessness crept back into Tsonga’s game, with Berdych breaking at 5-5, consolidating to take the first set.

Tsonga seemed to come alive, taking the second set with two successive aces, but he was frustrating to watch, even then.

Tsonga failed to capitalise on that momentum, squandering chances to break Berdych in the first game of the final set.

That was all Berdych needed, breaking Tsonga, and holding with conviction to lead 4-1.

Tsonga’s forehand errors made for a shocking graphic shown on screen during the third set, and at 1-4, a break to love meant a quick end to the match.

Berdych sealed the final set 6-1, and Murray fans are getting their calculators out to determine the possible permutations to go further after the round-robin stages.

ATP World Tour Stars Help Raise Over £400K For Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity

From the ATP World Tour –(November 4, 2012) LONDON – The world’s top men’s singles players and doubles teams, including Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Bob and Mike Bryan, gathered on Saturday evening at the official Barclays ATP World Tour Finals Gala, at The Royal Courts of Justice in London. The event, supported by Moët & Chandon, raised more than £400,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.

The Gala officially launched the 2012 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals – the year-end climax to the men’s professional tennis season, to be played 5-12 November at The O2 – and raised vital funds for the new respiratory ward at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The event was hosted by Kirsty Gallacher and Dan Lobb, with guests enjoying an exclusive performance from Brit and MOBO award winner Lemar and a DJ set from Emma B.

The world’s best players personally supported the night by joining Moët & Chandon’s philanthropic ‘Toast for a Cause’ initiative, raising a mini Moët as they walked the red carpet. Moët & Chandon in turn made a donation for each participating player directly to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity. Players helped raise an additional £22,500 on the night by offering three lucky guests the chance to join them on stage for a once-in-a-lifetime group photo.

Federer, a six-time winner of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, said: “It’s great to be all together, in one place, for one cause, and that’s the Great Ormond Street Hospital tonight. I’m happy that we’re hopefully going to be able to raise a lot of money for the many kids that need it. I’m thrilled to be here tonight for a great cause.”

ATP Executive Chairman & President, Brad Drewett, said: “On behalf of the ATP, I’m delighted to officially welcome our singles players and doubles teams to London ahead of the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, as well as raising money for an extremely worthy cause through this great occasion. We’d like to thank all those who gave so generously on the night in support of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity.”

An exclusive auction was held on the night, with lots including a rare gold-leaf Methuselah of Moët & Chandon signed by the world’s top tennis players. Other highly prized auction items included: VIP tickets to the 2013 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals at The O2, a unique Hamilton & Inches pendant inspired by Disney•Pixar’s Brave and a NISSAN VIP experience at the Dubai 24 Hour Race.

Del Potro Qualifies for ATP World Tour Finals

(October 25, 2012) From the ATP World Tour – LONDON – Juan Martin del Potro has qualified for the 2012 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, to be held at The O2 in London from 5-12 November. Following Rafael Nadal’s withdrawal from the season-ending tournament due to injury, del Potro becomes the sixth singles player to qualify, joining Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, David Ferrer and Tomas Berdych at The O2.

Del Potro will be making his third career appearance at the season finale. His best performance came in 2009 when he reached the final. The big-serving Argentine has captured three ATP World Tour titles in 2012, at the Open 13 in Marseille, the Estoril Open, and at last week’s Erste Bank Open in Vienna. Del Potro is currently playing at the Swiss Indoors Basel where he advanced through to the quarter-finals with a 7-5, 6-1 win over American Brian Baker on Thursday.

“For me it’s a gift for my effort during the year,” said the 2009 US Open champion and current ATP World No.8. “Being in that tournament means a lot. It’s only eight players fighting for one tournament. It’s the best eight players of the year, so it’s very important to me. I’m so glad to be there once again. I will be fighting against the big names in London and maybe I’ll have a chance to make another final.”

Brad Drewett, ATP Executive Chairman & President, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Juan Martin back to the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals where he made such a big impact back in 2009 by reaching the final. He has one of the biggest games on tour and is an exciting addition to what will be a fantastic player field in London.”

Just two singles berths remain up for grabs, with the likes of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Janko Tipsarevic, Richard Gasquet and Nicolas Almagro among those in contention as players chase the last South African Airways ATP Rankings points of the regular season in order to qualify.

The Barclays ATP World Tour Finals again look set to provide a thrilling finale to what has already been a remarkable season on the ATP World Tour, with the year-end World No.1 ranking potentially coming down to the wire at the last event of the season in London.
