While the second set had some tremendous moments, the match was a little flat and subdued after the rain delay in the third set. I have…
And here we go again… Roger v Novak! Although I was cheering for Andy in the semi-finals, i’m much more excited about the prospect of this final than Novak v Andy which I have written before that I have issues with haha. Both players won their semi-final matches in straights; Federer produced an exceptional performance…
The first three men’s quarter-finals on Wednesday were all decided in straight sets and dare I say, rather dull.

The quarter-final line-up for both the men and the women looked great on paper, but the last few days have been a little flat. Is it just me who loses interest at the end of tournaments when all my favourite players have all gone out? Generally, I much prefer the early stages of a tournament…
The top half of the men’s draw has stayed entirely with the seedings as the number one seed, Novak Djokovic will take on the number eight seed, Milos Raonic in the quarter-finals.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The ATP season concluded in rather surreal fashion as Roger Federer was forced to pull out of Sunday’s final at the O2 with a back injury meaning that Novak Djokovic is the World Tour Finals champion for 2014.
