What a comeback! Just goes to show how hard it is to beat these guys, they never quite until they lose match point.

Vamos Rafa, now Novak has to win the tournament to finish Y.E #1

Berrettini just wrapped up a nice win over Dominic Thiem 7-6 6-3. Thiem was already through to the semi-finals, but Matteo played some sublime tennis and was full marks for the win.

I've never seen anyone serve that well for an entire set. He has managed to take the racket out of the hand of the greatest returner ever

Man, great hold by Djoker to start set 2 from 15-40 down. If he gets broken there, it might have been curtains for the Serb.

Novak should lose an additional challenge for that last one (Hawkye confirms that ball was 45 cm out). That's a foot and a half lol.

Fed up a break in set 2 and the crowd erupts.

Holy Toledo, that was quick. Fed wins 6-4 6-3 meaning Rafa finishes the season as world #1.

I can honestly say I've never been happier for a Federer win, thank you Roger!

Fed had 23 winners to 5 unforced errors. Just crazy good tennis.

Nadal and Greek Yogurt need a 3rd and deciding set in London - Tsitsipas won the first set in a tie-breaker, Rafa takes set 2 6-4 with a late break.

Man, the quality of tennis in this match is off the charts. Nadal breaks late in set 3 and is serving for the match at 6-5

Nadal wins 6-7 6-4 7-5 - Tsitsipas is already through to the semi-finals while Rafa has to wait to see the outcome of the Medvedev - Zverev match to see if he will be playing on the weekend.

Pretty crazy that since 2010, it's either been Djoker or Rafa that has finished the season as world #1 with the lone exception being Andy Murray in 2016.

Going even further back, 15 of the last 16 years it's been either Nadal, Djokovic or Federer to finish the year #1. It's sorta like how in the 80s-2001 in the NHL only Lemieux, Gretzky or Jagr won the Art Ross, until Iginla broke the streak

Zverev joins Tsitsipas in the semi-finals of group Andre Agassi - I don't think Rafa is too upset about not having to play tennis this weekend.
