On Saturday against Andrey Rublev, he can start anew with a championship to begin 2018. The Frenchman arrived as a wild card following a four-month hiatus due to a right knee injury. Monfils has found success in familiar territory, falling to then-No. 1 Roger Federer (2006), then-No. 6 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (2012) and then-No. 1 Rafael Nadal (2014) in his previous Doha finals. Monfils is one of three wild cards to reach the final in Doha’s 26-year tournament history, joining Younes El Aynaoui in 1996 and Nicolas Escude in 2004. Escude, also from France, is the only wild card to win the Doha title. Monfils’ first final in Doha came as a 19-year-old, but his 20-year-old opponent on Saturday is bidding to become the youngest Qatar ExxonMobil Open champion ever. Rublev is through to the final despite hitting a total of 33 double faults in his four victories this week.

    22 November 2017 NITTO ATP FINALS COMPLETE RECORD-BREAKING ATTENDANCE ACROSS 2017 ATP WORLD TOUR SEASON LONDON – The 2017 Nitto ATP Finals brought a spectacular close to a memorable 2017 season that saw more fans come out and watch the world’s best tennis players on the ATP World Tour than ever before. More than 4.5 million fans attended ATP World Tour events in 2017, an all-time record. The season finale in London attracted a total attendance of 253,642, including six sold-out sessions, making it the ninth successive year that the tournament has broken the 250,000 attendance mark. Cumulative attendance since the tournament moved to London in 2009 stands at more than 2.3 million fans. This year’s tournament saw a host of three set-matches across the eight days of competition in a tournament that pitted established stars such as Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer against some must- see newcomers at the season finale. The event culminated with Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov’s dramatic 7-5, 4-6, 6-3 win over Belgium’s David Goffin in the final. The 31-game final equaled the second most games played in a three-set final in the history of the tournament, with only John McEnroe’s win over Arthur Ashe in 1978 longer (34 games). Dimitrov became the first champion to win the title undefeated on his tournament debut since McEnroe in 1978.

  • Sports India and World
    SPORTS INDIA AND WORLD World Cup Cricket History The idea of organising a World Cup of cricket was mooted and agreed to in principle in 1971 when such a proposal was discussed at a meeting of the International Cricket Conference in London. However, due to various commitments the tournaments could not be staged until 1975 when the original plan of a South African team's visit to England fell through following opposition to the country's racial policy. England's Prudential Assurance Company came forward with sponsorship and for three consecutive years - 1975, 1979 and 1983, the one-day limited overs cricket tournament was held in England. It became famous as the Prudential Cup. In the first two tournaments, apart from the six full members of the International Cricket Conference (England, Australia, West Indies, New Zealand, India and Pakistan), Sri Lanka, before being elevated to Test status in 1981, had joined East Africa in 1975 and Canada in 1979 (two top teams among the associate members) to complete the groups in the tournaments proper. The West Indies, under Clive Lloyd, not only won the first two tournaments in 1975 and 1979 but in true Calypso style they produced sparkling cricket and confirmed their unassailable supremacy in this game. India broke the West Indian stranglehold in 1983 to open a new chapter in the brief annals of this prestigious tournament.
