PREVIEW
Tonight’s final of the Barclays ATP World Tour promises to be a fitting conclusion to the tennis calendar as the top two tennis players go head-to-head. Novak Djokovic comes into the final holding the world number one title which has changed hands on numerous occasions this year and he has made much lighter work of reaching this stage than his opponent.
Juan Martin del Potro gave the Serbian a run for his money after going a set and a break up in their semi-final on Sunday. Djokovic showed his brilliant resilience to rally back to make it four straight victories this week.
Federer struggled to get his game going in his opening set with Andy Murray before turning it on to run out a comfortable 2-0 winner. The Swiss Maestro has not made life that easy for himself in London and Del Potro beat him in three sets on Saturday – although his qualification was already decided.
The Wimbledon champion has the better record over Djokovic overall, winning sixteen of their 28 matches, but the rivals are 2-2 in matches this year. Federer came through in two sets when the two last met inside the O2 and I fancy him to follow that up as he thrives in the shorter format under the roof where he can push the boundaries.
Punters can get around 2.41 on BETDAQ for Federer to claim the title.
