On Sunday the 28th the 2 top seeds of the ATP World Finals will contend the last championship of the season.

After a thrilling match the two players found themselves 6-6 in the final tie break.
At that point everything could happen. The Scott tried to be aggressive and he missed a forehand attack by few inches. The point after was very tight and the Spaniard managed to win it with a remarkable inside-out forehand… Nadal style.

“His level is unbelievable almost always. If he plays like this, I don’t have any doubt he going to have big chances to win very important titles.’
“He’s a very talented player because he can do everything. His serve for moments was unstoppable. His defence was unbelievable. He’s very fast. He sees the ball very quick, before the rest of the players I think.â€
On the other side Roger Federer crushed Novak Djokovic in 2 sets ( 6-1 6-4).
The Swiss was just unstoppable sometimes ’embarrassing’. In the first set he was 100% in the zone. Three was no hope for the Serb.
Djokovic proved to be an expert player when he managed to take advantage of a downturn of Federer’s game at the beginning of the second set and he got a 3-0 lead.
Then the Swiss Maestro got back to his 1set game and he closed the second set by 6-4.
Djokovic commented: ‘I think he was playing unbelievable from the first moment, He was playing smart. He was coming in. He didn’t give me any time to try to get into the match. In just half an hour, it was already 6-1.’
