ATP Tour Finals

Murray starting now

[heretoday]

What happened to tennis whites? Both guys look as if they're heading for a kip by the pool!

The court looks like a swimming pool too. Everything's blue!

[Speedy]

Whites are just a Wimbledon thing are they not?

1st set Murray

[Golden Bear]

The O2 looks like a fantastic venue and the attendance speaks for itself. It's one of these events that I'd like to attend even although I've never played tennis in my life.

Don't - it's not what is portrayed on TV.

It's simply a warehouse within a dome of other interconnecting (empty) warehouses.

A complete waste of money and it's simply sponsorship that's keeping the doors open.

[Sir David Gray]

Novak Djokovic is the first man through to the semi finals after he beat Milos Raonic 7-6 7-6.

Dominic Thiem beat Gael Monfils this afternoon.

That means that the match between Thiem and Raonic on Thursday will be a straight knockout for the second place in the semi finals from that group and Monfils is out.

[Golden Bear]

Murray loses first set against Nishikori after the tie break. It's not been one of his most inspiring performances so far, let's hope he improves and quickly.

[Jack]

Once you hear the squeak squeak squeaking of their shoes on the floor it's difficult to think of anything else!

[heretoday]

Andy wins!

[Sir David Gray]

If Marin Cilic beats Stan Wawrinka later tonight then Murray will join Djokovic in the semi finals.

[Sir David Gray]

Wawrinka wins the first set on a tiebreak.

[Sir David Gray]

Wawrinka wins 7-6 7-6 so Murray will have to wait before he confirms his semi final place.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Wawrinka wins 7-6 7-6 so Murray will have to wait before he confirms his semi final place.

His semi final place is confirmed. It's just whether he comes first or 2nd in the group

Edit - apologies you're right

That's not the case.

A straight sets loss on Friday could see him eliminated.

That's even confirmed in the tweet you've posted.

Cool, obviously edited it as I was replying and working it all out. :aok:

[Sir David Gray]

Milos Raonic will join Djokovic in the semi finals, he won 7-6 6-3.

If all goes to plan tomorrow, Raonic will face Murray in the semis on Saturday.

Im just back home today having watched all Tuesday's matches and Wednesday's as well. I can assure you it's fantastic!! Love watching Tennis on the TV but seeing these guys in the flesh is incredible. The Murray v Nishikori match was brilliant!! Had 2 English bellends sitting behind us booing him which made me up the volume to support Andy! Go... You will love it!!

[Sir David Gray]

Murray saw off Wawrinka earlier 6-4 6-2 to confirm his place in tomorrow semis and he will play Milos Raonic in the last four.

Murray's victory also ensures that Kei Nishikori qualifies for the semis, regardless of tonight's result against Marin Cilic. He will play Djokovic.

Tomorrow's schedule has also been confirmed with Murray v Raonic on at around 2pm and Djokovic v Nishikori on at around 8pm.

[Sir David Gray]

Anyone see Murray's match earlier?

I missed it as I was at the Hibs game but seems to have been another classic.

I'm running out of superlatives to describe Murray and his will to win.

I really hope he can do it tomorrow although it will be a big ask, particularly if it's against Djokovic and if he has had an easy match tonight v Nishikori.

Mon the Muzza!

I watched it, when he went a break down in the second he sat down and looked like he was saying 'cmon Andy, what is wrong with you today?' He then popped up and won the next game on Raonic's serve to love. Was frightening after that. He seems to need that boot up the ass in big games that he is expected to win, to get him going. Hoping Djokovic either loses tonight, or goes deep into three sets.

I can't see anything other than a comfortable Djokovic win tonight. He's won their last nine meetings and Nishikori has only taken one set off Djokovic in their previous five meetings this year.

Djokovic is 4-0 up in the first set. :rolleyes:

[Sir David Gray]

Djokovic wins the first set 6-1.

[Sir David Gray]

Djokovic wins 6-1 6-1.

Not a great omen for tomorrow.

I worry about how Murray is going to recover in time to face Djokovic.

[Speedy]

Phenomenal from Djokovic

[pontius pilate]

Does muzza need to win tomorrow to stay no1? I read it as long as he matches djoko he will stay no1 Inc both cant win

[CallumLaidlaw]

Yeah that's correct but since they've both got to the final, he can no longer match Djokovic's result.

Whoever wins tomorrow will end the year as world number one.

It's the first time in ATP history that this has happened.

That last point is a phenomenal thing, that the 2 of them can play a whole season and it coming down to the final match of the season.

£25 on dockeyvitch


just to win £11 :hilarious

[Sir David Gray]

Great match so far, Murray's had some big chances on Djokovic's serve so far but it's still on serve.

Djokovic is serving at 3-4 down, first set.

Yip I was worried about the match but he's at least equal to him at present. Long may it continue

Murray breaks!

Serving for the first set. :aok:

[Sir David Gray]

First set Murray 6-3. :thumbsup:

Outstanding so far, considering he played for over 3 and a half hours just over 24 hours ago.

You would never know.

[Sir David Gray]

Murray breaks at the start of the second set.

[Mon Dieu4]

Djokovic hasn't been himself since before the Olympics, anyone would think he's back on the gluten and dairy

[Galahibby]

Andy's been immense, but I can't think I've ever seen Djokovic make so many mistakes before. If Andy keeps the heid it's his to lose.

[Galahibby]

What a shot!

[Speedy]

Another break for Murray. 4-1 up now

That shot at the net was terrible. Very unlike him.

[Speedy]

Djokovic finding a bit form now.

4-3 Murray, Murray to serve

[3pm]

Got 4/1 on Djokovic after the 1st break in the 2nd set.

[Sir David Gray]

There's been a few worrying signs over the last 10 minutes or so.

Definite lull from Murray.

It's never easy with Murray. Never. Still he's serving for the tournament and for number 1 in the world, a good place to be!

[Sir David Gray]

Murray wins 6-3 6-4 and is confirmed as the year end world number one. :thumbsup:

[3pm]

Got 4/1 on Djokovic after the 1st break in the 2nd set.

Pleased to lose!!!

[Galahibby]

Absolutely superb. Is that him and Jamie both end of season world no1s?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Get in there! What an achievement, Well done Andy!

[Speedy]

Absolutely superb. Is that him and Jamie both end of season world no1s?

No. Jamie is 4th behind Soares and the French pair.

[Galahibby]

No. Jamie is 4th behind Soares and the French pair.

Are they not no.1 as a pair though? (Jamie and Bruno)

[Sir David Gray]

Are they not no.1 as a pair though? (Jamie and Bruno)

Yep Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares are the year end number one doubles pair.

[pontius pilate]

Phenomenal performance by Andy hopefully he can take this boost and finally get the Aussie open. Take a well deserved break with the family lad you deserve it immensely. Jamie and Bruno well done for ending as the no1 pairing in the world it will be some party in the Murray household. The extension will be some size for all the trophies
