Tennis - ATP World Tour 2015

Djokovic smahed John Inser easily.In my opinion,he will win the trophy easily.Ferrer must play best tennis of his life if he wants to cause problems to Novak.

I was unpleasantly surprised by a bad game Isner.Novak is the strongest but so much service to lose Isner is surprise.

For tommorow i think Novak will win in straight sets.

At the moment, Novak is without any doubt the best player in the world. With the 50% of his best game he can easily beat a big number of player from  Top 20. I think that Nadal will find his place in the final but result will be the same like in exibition few days ago.

With this form,and this lack of real rivals,I think Novak can get real close or even smash the record of Roger Federer with 17 Grand Slam trophies.

Lol. Nadal vs Fognini in the semi? Nadal doesn't like it. Over 2,5 sets seems a good bet. I hope we will see a Nole vs Nadal final.

I know that Nadal does not like when the other side of the net Fognini , but I think this time Nadal to win.

Yeah me too, I think it's payback time for Nadal but who knows.  Just promised to be a great match.

I would say that Nadal easily cope with Fabio today 7-5 6-3.

However, in tomorrow's final with Novak probably do not think it has a chance.

Big surprise in Tokyo, second seed a local favourite Nishikori was defeated by Paire after having taken the first set 6-1! The Frenchman will take on Stan Wawrinka in the final.

BIG FOUR after 15:40

1. Federer 17/37

2. Nadal 24/58

3. Đoković 26/72

4. Murray 29/89

Really glad for Paire, he has a chance tomorrow, but we'll see if he's capable of beating Wawrinka, who is playing well again though he didn't have a very challenging draw, in my opinion.

And tomorrow the final of Beijing that I was hoping for, looking forward to it.

My prediction for tommorow is win for Novak and Wawa.

They are much better than Rafa and Benoit at the moment.

Tomorow Novak play 12th tournament final in the row this year...

Two finals on Sunday, here are the odds at William Hill:

ATP Tokyo

1.33 Stan Wawrinka  v  Benoit Paire 3.40

ATP Beijing

1.14 Novak Djokovic  v  Rafael Nadal 5.50

Good luck!

We will whitness another great match between Novak and Rafa.This will be their 45th match,that is record ever...

No surprise. Djokovic has never lost here and this is his best season to date, whereas Nadal is a shadow of his former self. It will be stunning if Djokovic does not win, and surprising if he loses a set.Slightly surprised at the odds, but the way Novak is playing i think they are a pretty fair reflection of the match up.

Surely that is a favorite Novak and many large.

But Nadal has always been competitive.I think Novak will win in straight sets but if he lose one set that not will be surprise for me.

No problem for Stan Wawrinka in the Tokyo final, he grabbed his 4th title of the season and 11th overall after a straight sets victory over Paire.

ATP Tokyo

Singles - Final

[1] S. Wawrinka (SUI) d B. Paire (FRA) 62 64

Paire is to be in great shape but certainly not threatened Wawrinka today.

Wawrinka was playing really well and without major fluctuations which led him to victory.

I am just watching finish of match Djokovic Nadal and it is clear who is better at this moment, there is no question that Djokovic is the best player on the World.

Not long ago one of the big four outplayed Nadal like this.

Novak destroyed him with almost every ball to the baseline.

Brutally good game and deserved the title , sixth in Beijing.

Fantastic performance by Djokovic.Nobody is nowhere near him at the moment...

This and next season are certainly his.

For the future the question is whether  will have problems with injuries.

If he stays healthy he'll be a long time at the top.

Easy victory for Novak Djokovic today at Bejing. It seems like he is on top level like 2011 and nobody can't stop him.

Seventh win for Djokovic out of the last eight meetings with Nadal, an easy one too. This is the eighth title of the season for the world number one.

Rafa - Nole now 23-22... On Shanghai they have only meet on final becouse a draw......

Congrats to Djokovic on such a easy win, at least on the scoreboard. Though the match was longer then and an hour and a half so it wasn't that easy consider the score. Djokovic is simply playing with far more confidence, that is obvious.

Good result for Coric, though it seems that after this fantastic summer, Doglopolov is in a slump again.

Djokovic was awesome in Beijing. He lost only 18 games in five matches and that is result for respect.

Cilic was close to an early exit in Shanghai but he managed to rescue a match point and defeat local favourite Wu.

V. Estrella Burgos (DOM) d [LL] D. Young (USA) 62 46 64

[Q] A. Ramos-Vinolas (ESP) d S. Querrey (USA) 46 64 75

Quite real results in today's matches.

The biggest surprise were certainly lost Querrey of the Spanish players Ramos and victory Estrella over Young

Djokovic already owned Nadal on clay except in RG, now he owns him everywhere...Nadal without the mental edge is not dangerous anymore to Djokovic, it goes too fast for him.

Federer won't beat Djokovic in slams anymore.

Only Wawrinka and Murray are very dangerous for Djokovic now, and none of them will prevent him to win 2 sams per year.

Upcoming matches and the odds at William Hill:

1.83 Vasek Pospisil  v  Simone Bolelli 1.83

1.12 Jack Sock  v  Lukasz Kubot 5.50

1.40 Marin Cilic  v  Borna Coric 2.75

1.08 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga  v  Victor Estrella 7.00

Good luck!

My opinion is also that Nadal can not approach him more.

The only competitive in his Fedex Andy and Wawa.

But the Grand Slams next season will hardly they also confuse accounts.

Yes Djokovic totally dominated this year and if Stan wasn't so great at Roland Garros we could see the unthinkable. Nadal not looking like the same player any more, but his confidence will be back after his fitness is back to the highest level.

In matches that await us today in Shanghai I think the most promising victory are Viktor Troicki to beat Pablo Cuevas and Milos Raonic to beat Thomaz Bellucci.

I think Nadal could possibly beat Novak again but certainly not on a hard court. Would be on a clay court.

Many people though Murray would never beat Novak again with the way that head to head was going, but he managed to beat him.

Nadal could beat Novak again, but as against all top players now, Novak will dominate the head to head going forward.

Big value on Borna Coric. Cilic has problem with serve after injury. This is not old good Marin. When first serve don't enter on court he makes mistakes. Borna is young and full of energy. For couple of years he will be top10 player. He has temperament, excellent serve, very fast good shots.

Albert Ramos-Vinotas - R.Federer  2-1 ( 7-6, 2-6, 6-3 ).... Big surprise.....

Cilic won 6:1; 6:2. Sorry for this. I was very convinced that this is going to be tie game.

OMG

Albert Ramos Vinollas from Spain who is clasical claycourter beat Roger Federer on hard in 3 sets.

This is not even the greatest optimists expected.

Congratulation Ramos ! ! !

I am surprised with the defeat of Roger Federer .It is not often situation to see him eliminated so early.

Huge upset in Shanghai today, I guess Roger Federer wants an early vacation :)

I suspect you might be right Johnny ;) Or it's just too strange result that one.

We will be able to see very good match between Nadal and Karlovic.I think Ivo can shock Nadal.

I think too that Karlo cab beat Rafa.With his bomb serv he is able to win everyone (only not Novak and Fedex) :)
