Group A: Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Tomas Berdych, Andy Roddick
Group B: Roger Federer, Robin Soderling, Andy Murray, David Ferrer
Ah yes, and Rafa & Roger fans are fast saying their man has it tougher.
Get over it: I think they are pretty even.
VS their groupings: Rafa is 28-13 & Roger is 29-9. See. Stop bitching.
Hell, take Murray out of Fed's equation and he's 24-1...
3 of the 4 Slam finals will be re-matched in the round robin stage:
Aussie: Rog vs Murray, Wimby: Rafa vs Tomas, US: Rafa vs Novak.
Roger & Novak are the only past champions in the 8-man field:
Roger held aloft the trophy 4 times: '03-4, '06-7 - Novak in '08.
Roger is looking to tie Ivan Lendl & Pete Sampras with their record 5 titles.
Rafa is looking to cap a remarkable year with his 1st ATP Tour Final title.
Hmm: Of Rafa's 43 career ATP titles he ha only won 1 indoors.
This is the 1st time since '98 that the previous years finalists are a no show:
'98: Alex Corretja d Carlos Moya - '09: Nikolay Davydenko d JM Del Potro
The fun starts Sunday - on Tennis Channel here in the States.
