Week 47 - ATP World Tour Finals - London (indoor hard)
Permalink  

Andy has been drawn in Group A with:

Djokovic - H2H 4-6 (4-4 on hard, 0-1 indoors)

Ferrer - H2H 5-3 (5-0 on hard, 1-0 indoors)

Berdych - H2H 1-3 (1-2 on hard/carpet, 1-1 indoors)

I would say Ferrer is a better draw than Tsonga indoors but Berdych a worse draw than Fish.

If they schedule the groups on the same principle as they have the last two years (i.e. Muzz plays first match, 2 v 3 in the group first then 1 v 2 and finally 2 v 4), Muzz will play Ferrer on Sunday afternoon, Nole on Tuesday and Berdych on Thursday.

Expect him to play Ferrer first...then it's decided on who wins first matches in group will play each other

Come to think of it, you're right - they do play winner v winner and loser v loser on the Tuesday so as to ensure that places in the semis are still up for grabs coming into the final set of matches - it just usually works out that that means 1 v 2 and 3 v 4 as the second matches, but might not this year.

OEM thinks Muzz v Berdych first for some reason, which would be a change from the last two years. We'll find out soon enough I guess.

Btw Fitzy seems to be a hitting partner for the Bryan Bros - yesterday he tweeted "Playing some dubs with the bryan brothers tomorrow....should be good!!" and today "Could get used to playing on the next court to murray and ripping returns to mike bryans feet"

Nice work if you can get it! biggrin

It now looks like this year's WTF will open with Fed v Tsonga on Sunday, with Andy playing on Monday, Wednesday & Friday.

The afternoon sessions are on BBC2 and online, they say. Same for the semis and finals.

The evening sessions I have no definite info on but I will be amazed if there are no livestreams. Tennistv are covering them, so there will almost certainly be some free ones available on livescorehunter.

amazing practising today with a very chilled out djokovic. we got on well and was a great session. Got bumped off the court by henman hitting with fed. casually chilling out with me at the change of ends while he unleashes his attire....fresh out the packet.
could get used to this life!
been asked to hit with tsonga tomorrow at the 02.
im supposed to be playing in nottingham british tour tomorrow, so cant do both.
does any one fancy spotting me the 750 in loss of earnings so i can hit with tsonga and get in the mixer at the o2 this week guilt free? ha

Maybe you could ask Tsonga to pay for your services?

Surely it depends what you think is more beneficial to your long-term development!

I mean, playing competitive matches is always a plus but playing against the likes of Djokovic and Tsonga is something that very few people would pass up!
