Murray needs to at least match Djokovic's performance in London to ensure he keeps hold of the top ranking until the start of next season, but he has been handed a tough draw.

Now we know why he wanted to stay No. 2 until at least 2017 and then aim for the No.1 spotkillerandflash said:http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/37900315

Although with Djokovic's form is he guaranteed to get out of his Group himself?0 -
Horse racing isn't a sport.bobmunro said:
Yes, a very strong argument for that.se9addick said:Greatest British sportsman of all time.
Whilst admitting a slight bias as horseracing is one of my passions, a man who was the best in the world at what he did for 40 years would for me be in the same argument - Lester Piggott.
I don't expect many will agree with me though!!2 -
It is quite possible Djok regains the number one spot at Wembley. However it would be a major surprise if Murray doesn't regain it shortly into 2017. He had a poor start to the year and Djok had a great start. So the number of points Murray has gained in the second half means he will only have to do moderately well in the first half unless Djok does exceptionally well even by his own standards.
The o2 has never been a good tournament for Andy but he goes in on great form, maybe even as favourite.
I have tickets for Wednesday evening; Murray plays Wednesday but I bet it is going to be the afternoon session!0 -
Please dont go to Wembley there will be nothing there... As you then stated its at the O2 in North Greenwichredman said:It is quite possible Djok regains the number one spot at Wembley.

the groups don't entirely make sense to me
Murray's has the 1,3,5,7 ranked players, Novak the 2,4,6,8 ranked players, so Murray's side is stronger. In Wimbledon semis, if the top seeds make it then 1 plays 4 and 2 plays 3, which seems fairer
Murray has Wavrinka, Nishikori and Cilic, while Novak has Raonic (unfit?), Monfils and Thiem1 -
Basically no one is given favouritism this way its the top eight players in the World against each other...killerandflash said:the groups don't entirely make sense to me

Guess the easy thing to do would be - Murray given, 6,7,8 with Novak given 3,4,50 -

4-1 up against Cilic in the First Set of the ATP Finals... Cilic has yet to win a Service Game1

Was there tonight. Vintage Murray. Another night ruined by charlton as could not concentrate due to the unbelievable news.1

Beats Wawrinka 6-4 6-2 to make it 3 wins out of 3, cruises into the last 4 where he'll play Raonic. Looking good for a Murray v Djokovic final to end the year.2

Nishikori, wavrinka, Raonic, Djokovic
That's one hell of a run of games!0 - Sponsored links:

Murray comes through an epic in just over 3 and a half hours to finally beat Raonic 5-7 7-6 7-6.0

So if he loses to Djokovic in the Final... He loses No.1 spot?
(Yeah I know Novak has to beat Nishikori still)0 -
Correct.
Murray effectively had a 130 point lead over Djokovic coming into the ATP finals. But if Djokovic wins it he'll get 1500 points and Murray 1000 for runner up.
Pretty amazing though given that Djokovic was over 9000 ahead earlier this year.1 -
Yeah if Djokovic does win (and I suspect he will because of the exhausting match Murray had today and against Nishikori) I hope people will realise that Murray made up a ton of points in 2016 and only lost the No.1 spot, not because he cant handle the pressure but because there is SUCH a small gap between the two players now.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Correct.

I think the rivalry between these two is about to raise to the next level and it won't just be Grand Slams and titles that swing between the two yet the No.1 spot too0 -
Even if Murray does lose the number 1 spot tomorrow, there's a good chance he can win it back early next year as Djokovic has a ton of points to defend in the first few months of 2017.2

Come on Kei, make yourself a legend!1

Well we've got the Australian Open in just two months... that'll potentially create another swing the other way in pointsChris_from_Sidcup said:Even if Murray does lose the number 1 spot tomorrow, there's a good chance he can win it back early next year as Djokovic has a ton of points to defend in the first few months of 2017.
