ATP Tour Finals 2009: Day 4 Report

Robin Solderling proved himself that his win was not just by luck, by defeating Novak Djokovic in his second match here in ATP Tour Finals at London. He hasn’t lost single set and tops the chart in group B.


Swede prevailed 7-6(7-5), 6-1 victory against a near-exhausted Novak Djokovic, the world No3. There is no question Soderling has a big game, his wide, sweeping forehands are awesome blows and he hits the ball as hard as anyone.

"I won two matches in straight sets against the world number two and three. I couldn't have asked for anything more," said Soderling.


Djokovic came into the tournament as the favorite to win the tournament and in-form player after a run of 17 wins in 18 matches, but after edging out Nikolay Davydenko in his opening Group B match, the Serb complained of tiredness - and he looked sluggish throughout against Soderling.

Nadal’s season ends in losing to Davydenko, and knocked out of the ATP Tour Finals tournament. Having lost his opening match against Sweden's Robin Soderling in straight sets, he was beaten again last night, 6-1, 7-6 by the Russian Nikolay Davydenko. It is a far cry from the start of the year, which he entered as world No1.


"I didn't arrive to this tournament with the full confidence that you need to win these matches. And in the moments that I had to play well, I didn't play well. I made mistakes.

Davydenko, however, will seek to emulate last year's performance in reaching the final, where he lost to Djokovic when the tournament was held in Shanghai.


"It was an important tie-break," Davydenko said. "Tie-break for me, it's really important. I concentrated 100 percent. I tried to win. Almost every tie-break in last few months I have won. Again, I realize my tie-break today and I won."

ATP Tour Finals 2009: Day 3 Report

First match was between my favo Fernando Verdasco, he suffered a last minute defeat at the hands of Juan Del Porto. It was first meeting against each other. They were neck-and-neck throughout most of the match, until Verdasco suffered an defeat during the final tie-break, with Del Potro winning the set by 7-1.


The game lasted 2 hour 20 min and had audience over edge of the seat. Verdasco started edgily in front of an expectant crowd of more than 15,000, and trailing 2-1 in the first set, the Spaniard mis-hit the simplest of forehands. His winners was 34 to 24 but his unforced error costed him dear 38-27 against Del Potro.

"Of course I was nervous, because I knew if I lost, I would probably be going home," Del Potro later admitted.


"The win was important for my confidence, and now I hope to play my best tennis against Roger," said Del Potro.

Fed Express came through 3-6 6-3 6-1 against Murray at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, a reminder of the gap Scotland's finest must bridge if he is to unseat the world No.1 next year. Murray's serve, which had been so dominant early on, faltered as Federer broke three times to wrap up the win.



Murray said: "I served terribly and that was the main difference in the match. "You can't serve at 40% against Roger because you give him so many opportunities to dictate play, but that's what I did.


Federer said: "I played a great match and him as well. I'm glad it lived up to the expectation. "Andy was playing well and I couldn't get a proper read on his first serve. "He's also one of the best returners in the game and when you're behind against the top guys it's not easy. "But it's a huge improvement and gives me confidence."
